Development of multiplex PCR assays for detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli colonization factors and toxins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four multiplex PCR assays for detection of 19 enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) colonization factors and an improved ETEC toxin multiplex PCR were developed and tested on Bangladeshi and Bolivian ETEC strain collections. The assays will be useful for surveillance of ETEC infections in diagnostic laboratories that have access to PCR.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the main causes of childhood diarrhea in developing countries and in travelers. However, this pathogen has often not been reported in surveys of diarrheal pathogens, due to lack of simple standardized methods to detect ETEC in many laboratories. ETEC expresses one or both of two different enterotoxin subtypes: heat-stable toxins, a heat-labile t...

BACKGROUND Diarrheagenic E.coli (DEC) are an important cause of childhood diarrhea.Identification of DEC strains needs to detect factors that determine the virulence of these organisms. There is not much data regarding the importance of DEC as a cause of diarrhea in children in India.The prevalence of DEC in children below five years with and without diarrhea was studied using two multiplex PCR...

A multiplex PCR system was developed for specific identification of genes encoding heat-labile (LTI) and heat-stable (STI and STII) toxins of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains. In addition, primers specific for the E. coli gene coding for 16S rRNA were used as an internal control of the DNA amplification. The specificity of the method was validated by single PCR tests performed wi...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes diarrhea in both humans and animals. The contaminated food and water are the most common vehicles for ETEC infection. The colonization factor antigen (CFA-1) is a fimbriae protein that promotes adherence of the ETEC strain to the epithelium of the small intestine of the host. In this study IgY proteins were produced against the CFA-1 of ETEC in imm...
