Potassium tellurite (K(2)TeO(3)) is harmful to most organisms and specific mechanisms explaining its toxicity are not well known to date. We previously reported that the lpdA gene product of the tellurite-resistant environmental isolate Aeromonas caviae ST is involved in the

Archives of microbiology, 191(5), 473-476 (2009-03-31)
Potassium tellurite is highly toxic to most forms of life and specific bacterial tellurite defense mechanisms are not fully understood to date. Recent evidence suggests that tellurite would exert its toxic effects, at least in part, through the generation of

A total of 66 (98.5%) of 67 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 strains had increased potassium tellurite (Te) MICs (32 to 1,024 microg/ml), grew on Te-containing media, and possessed Te resistance (ter) genes, whereas 83 (96.5%) of 86 sorbitol-fermenting (SF)

The objective of this study was to characterize Escherichia coli isolates from dairy cows/feedlots, calves, mastitis, pigs, dogs, parrot, iguana, human disease, and food products for prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) virulence markers. The rationale of the study

Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 375(1), 91-94 (2008-08-05)
Potassium tellurite (K(2)TeO(3)) is extremely toxic for most forms of life and only a limited number of organisms are naturally resistant to the toxic effects of this compound. Crude extracts prepared from the environmental isolate Aeromonas caviae ST catalize the
