Figure 1 Tridimensional structure of Shiga toxin.
Shiga toxins are a family of related toxins with two major groups, Stx1 and Stx2, expressed by genes considered to be part of the genome of lambdoidprophages. The most common sources for Shiga toxin are the bacteria S. dysenteriae and the shigatoxigenic serotypes of Escherichia coli, which includes serotypes O157:H7, O104:H4, and other enterohemorrhagic E. coli.
