Abstract

Stx is a member of the family of protein toxins produced by Escherichia coli O157:H7 and other enterohaemorrhagic E.coli.Renal disease was thought to be due to the combined action of Shiga toxin,which was the primary virulence factor of Shiga toxin.So far,there is no effective treatment of Stx-complications.Nowadays,the focus on Stx including:the unknown nosogenesis of Stx,the relationship between Stx and HUS,and prevention and treatment of Stx-complications.This paper will give a reviewe on important aspects of Stx.
