Histopathology Reports for E. coli O157:H7 Adherence in Cattle

Immunofluorescence and RNAscope images detail the initial adherence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 to bovine rectoanal junction tissues. The 3.9 MB dataset, authored by Indira T. Kudva and last updated in May 2026, likely contains histopathological examination results from in vitro organ culture assays. Observations support the role of the Slp lipoprotein in bacterial attachment to columnar epithelial cells.

Use Cases

• Training image segmentation models to identify bacterial adherence patterns on epithelial tissues.
• Analyzing tissue integrity disruptions caused by specific bacterial strains based on histopathological examination.
• Studying the spatial distribution of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in bovine intestinal tissue.

Strengths

• Includes data from multiple experimental conditions: wild-type, deletion mutant, and complemented mutant bacterial strains.
• Employs multiple verification methods: culture, immunofluorescence staining, and RNAscope in situ hybridization.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
