چکیده

conclusions etec and eaggec were the most detected e. coli among stool and uti samples, emphasizing the need to dedicate more health care attention to this group. in addition, our phylogenetic study may be helpful in figuring out the infection origin and for epidemiological studies. nonetheless, more research studies with larger sample sizes are suggested for confirming our results. results overall, 88% of dec and 54% of uti isolates were positive for one or more of the six genes encoding virulence factors. prevalence of the genes encoding virulence factors for dec were 62%, 25%, 24%, 13%, 7% and 5% for st (etec), lt (etec), aggr (eaggec), daad (daec), inve (eiec) and eae (epec), respectively; whereas, the prevalence rates for the uti samples were 23%, 14%, 6%, 6% and 4% for aggr (eaggec), lt (etec), daad (daec), inve (eiec) and st (etec), respectively. no coding virulence factors were detected for eae (epec). group b2 was the most prevalent phylogroup and st was the most frequently detected pathotype in all phylogroups. objectives in this study we present a precise and sensitive typing and phylogenetic study of upec and dec using multiplex pcr in order to simplify and improve the intervention and management of diarrheal and ut infections. materials and methods in total, 100 urinary tract infection samples (uti) and 200 specimens from children with diarrhea, which had been diagnosed with e. coli as the underlying agent by differential diagnosis using macconkey’s agar and biochemical study, were submitted for molecular detection. pathotyping of e. coli pathotypes causing urinary tract infection and diarrhea were examined using a two set multiplex pcr, targeting six specific genes. phylogenetic typing was done by targeting three genes, including chua, yjaa and tspe4c2. background acute diarrheal disease and urinary tract infection are leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in the developing world. diarrheagenic escherichia coli (dec) has been identified as a major etiologic agent of diarrhea worldwide, and urinary tract infection (uti) caused by uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) is one of the most common bacterial infections among human beings. quick and precise detection of these bacteria help provide more effective intervention and management of infection.

Pathotypic and Phylogenetic Study of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Uropathogenic E. coli Using Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction

BACKGROUND Acute diarrheal disease and urinary tract infection are leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) has been identified as a major etiologic agent of diarrhea worldwide, and urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the most common bacterial infections among human being...

Single Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction To Detect Diverse Loci Associated with Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli

We developed and tested a single multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that detects enterotoxigenic, enteropathogenic, enteroinvasive, and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. This PCR is specific, sensitive, and rapid in detecting target isolates in stool and food. Because of its simplicity, economy, and efficiency, this protocol warrants further evaluation in large, prospective studies...

Characterizing avian Escherichia coli isolates with multiplex polymerase chain reaction.

Colibacillosis caused by Escherichia coli infections account for significant morbidity and mortality in the poultry industry. Yet, despite the importance of colibacillosis, much about the virulence mechanisms employed by avian E. coli remains unknown. In recent years several genes have been linked to avian E. coli virulence, many of which reside on a large transmissible plasmid. In the present ...

Molecular characterization of uropathogenic and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli pathotypes.

In this study diarrheagenic and uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains were comparatively characterized according to serotype, hemolytic activity, protein polymorphism among housekeeping enzymes, phylogenetic group and urovirulence genes. Intra-serogroup/serotype variations were observed. Hemolytic activity was detected in 100%, 93%, 67% and 39% of UPEC, EAEC, EPEC and ETEC strains, resp...

Genotypic study of verocytotoxic Escherichia coli isolates from deer by multiplex polymerase chain reaction

AIM This study was planned to study the genotypes of verocytotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) in fecal samples of deer due to its public health significance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 160 fecal samples of deer were taken from Mathura district and Kanpur Zoo and screened for VTEC genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS All fecal samples were positive for E. coli. All the E....

Detection of the eaeA Gene in Escherichia coli Isolated from Broiler Chickens by Polymerase Chain Reaction

The aim of this study was to isolate Escherichia coli from chickens and to determine the presence of the eaeA gene, a virulence factor detected in Escherichia coli, in the isolates by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Different chicken organs (lung, liver and spleen) were inoculated onto blood agar and biochemical tests were performed on the suspicious isolates. Escherichiacoliwas isolated from ...
