Abstract: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 was investigated with respect to its halotolerance and whether it can survive in marine water. STEC O157 could multiply in a medium containing 5% NaCl and in sterilized marine water, and could survive in unsterilized marine water for at least 15 days. On the basis of these results, we postulated that STEC O157 may survive in natural marine water, and attempted to isolate the bacterium and Shiga toxin gene (stx) from marine water in Japan. The stx, comprising stx1 and stx2, was detected from mar... (read more)

Popularity:
This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence:
This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count:
This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse:
This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
