E. coli bacteria enter the body through contaminated food or water, such as raw vegetables, unpasteurized dairy products, or undercooked foods.

Shiga toxin travels to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Shiga toxin’s B subunit binding to Gb3Cer receptor
In the intestines, E. coli bacteria multiply, causing inflammation and symptoms. The Shiga toxin’s B subunit attaches to specific receptors (Gb3Cer) on host cells, allowing the toxin to enter the cell and travel to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Shiga toxins (Stxs)
E. coli colonizes the colonic epithelium and releases Shiga toxins (Stxs). The bacteria can attach to the brush borders of the epithelial cells through fimbrial adhesions.

Not so fast!
The body's immune system is activated, producing inflammatory cytokines like IL-8 to fight the infection. However, E. coli can weaken this response by blocking immune signals, preventing the activation of NF-κB and reducing the number of immune cells sent to fight the bacteria.
Skluzavka: 5
The A1 fragment of Shiga toxin stops cells from making proteins by cutting 28S RNA, leading to inflammation and symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, cramping, and fever.

With treatment, the infection can be controlled, leading to recovery.
