Antibiotic susceptibility of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolated from an outbreak in Japan in 1996.

چکیده
The antibiotic susceptibilities of 43 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 identified in the summer of 1996 in Japan were investigated. Growth of 90% of O157 strains was inhibited at a concentration of < or = 0.5 micro/ml by several agents including fosfomycin with glucose-6-phosphate.

Molecular typing of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolates in Japan by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was applied for molecular typing of 825 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolates, most of which were from 19 outbreaks and 608 sporadic cases in Japan, mainly in May to August 1996. By PFGE, the EHEC O157:H7 isolates were classified into six types (type I to V and ND [nondescript]) and UT untypeable isolates. Fifty isolates from seven ou...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), such as E. coli O157:H7, are emerging food-borne pathogens worldwide. This micro-organism can damage the epithelial tissue of the large intestine. The cytotoxic effects can be neutralized by probiotics such as Bifidobacterium bifidum. Probiotics are viable cells that have beneficial effects on the health of the host. The preventing activity of B. bifid...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) of the O157:H7 serotype is a worldwide zoonotic pathogen responsible for the majority of severe cases of human EHEC disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of E. coli O157: H7/NM in raw meat samples from two provinces of Iran. During a period from March 2010 to March 2011. Two hundred and ninety five raw meat samples were...
متن کاملApplication of a multilocus variable number of tandem repeats analysis to regional outbreak surveillance of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infections.
A total of 18 strains of EHEC O157:H7 were isolated from distinct cases in Akita Prefecture, Japan from July to September 2007. The genetic relatedness of these isolates was investigated by performing a multilocus variable number of tandem repeats analysis (MLVA) and a pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis using XbaI. The PFGE analyses allowed us to group these 18 isolates into three...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Strain MC2 Isolated from Cattle in France
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) with serotype O157:H7 is a major foodborne pathogen. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of EHEC O157:H7 strain MC2 isolated from cattle in France. The assembly contains 5,400,376 bp that encoded 5,914 predicted genes (5,805 protein-encoding genes and 109 RNA genes).
