Top-Down Proteomic Identification of Shiga Toxin 1 and 2 from Pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Using MALDI-TOF-TOF Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Shiga-toxin-producing <i>Escherichia coli</i> (STEC) are a burden on agriculture and a threat to public health. Rapid methods are needed to identify STEC strains and characterize the Shiga toxin (Stx) they produce. We analyzed three STEC strains for Stx expression, using antibiotic induc...
