Note

  • SHIGA TOXIN is also available

Scope note

  • A class of toxins that inhibit protein synthesis by blocking the interaction of ribosomal RNA; (RNA, RIBOSOMAL) with PEPTIDE ELONGATION FACTORS. They include SHIGA TOXIN which is produced by SHIGELLA DYSENTERIAE and a variety of shiga-like toxins that are produced by pathologic strains of ESCHERICHIA COLI such as ESCHERICHIA COLI O157.

History note

  • 2001; for VERO CYTOTOXIN, VERO CELL CYTOTOXIN, VERO TOXIN & VERO TOXIN use SHIGA-LIKE TOXIN I (NM) 1980-2000
