Identification of Escherichia coli O157: H7 from Slaughtered Beef in Mashhad Using Biochemical and Molecular Methods
Background and Aims: Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the main causes of transmitted diseases by food, including meat and meat products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 contamination in Mashhad with the detection of rfbE gene. Materials and Methods: For this study, 148 slaughtered beef samples from Mashhad (spring to winter, 2018) were randomly ...
متن کاملCrystal structure and biochemical features of EfeB /
EfeB/YcdB is a member of the dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) protein family. Recent study has shown that this protein can extract iron from heme without breaking the tetrapyrrole ring. We report the crystal structure of EfeB from E. coli O157 bound to heme at 1.95 Å resolution. The EfeB monomer contains two domains. The heme molecule is located in a large hydrophobic pocket in the C-terminal ...
متن کاملEnteropathogenic Escherichia coli O157 Strains from Brazil
We describe two serogroup O157 Escherichia coli strains from Brazilian infants with diarrhea. A variety of assays indicate that these strains belong to the enteropathogenic, not the enterohemorrhagic, pathotype. These strains possess a novel bfpA allele encoding the type IV pilin characteristic of typical enteropathogenic E. coli strains. Our results emphasize the pitfalls of classifying pathog...
متن کاملEscherichia coli O157.
Escherichia coli O157 is an uncommon but serious cause of gastroenteritis. This bacterium is noteworthy because a few, but significant, number of infected people develop the haemolytic uraemic syndrome, which is the most frequent cause of acute renal failure in children in the Americas and Europe. Many infections of E coli O157 could be prevented by the more effective application of evidence-ba...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of Hypothetical Fructose-Specific EIIB from Escherichia coli
We have solved the crystal structure of a predicted fructose-specific enzyme IIB(fruc) from Escherichia coli (EcEIIB(fruc)) involved in the phosphoenolpyruvate-carbohydrate phosphotransferase system transferring carbohydrates across the cytoplasmic membrane. EcEIIB(fruc) belongs to a sequence family with more than 5,000 sequence homologues with 25-99% amino-acid sequence identity. It reveals a ...
