Prevalence and properties of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli among healthy individuals in Osaka City, Japan.
The etiological roles of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC), including enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC), diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC) and EAST1EC--a strain of E. coli that possesses no diarrheagenic characteristics other than the EAggEC heat-stable toxin 1 (EAST1) gene--remain controversial. To clarify the prevalence of DEC among healthy individuals in Osaka City, Japan, and to compare...
متن کاملDiarrheagenic Escherichia coli isolated from stools of sporadic cases of diarrheal illness in Osaka City, Japan between 1997 and 2000: prevalence of enteroaggregative E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin 1 gene-possessing E. coli.
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) represents an elusive target, since they are not easily distinguished from fecal coliforms. To clarify if DEC are prevalent among sporadic cases of diarrheal illness in Osaka City, Japan, diarrheal specimens were examined for E. coli that were enterohemorrhagic (EHEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteroinvasive (EIEC), or enteroaggregati...
متن کاملAdherence Patterns of Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) Non-O157 Strains Isolated from Faecal Samples in Iran
The adherence property of 70 verotoxigenicE. coli (VTEC) strains, not belonging to O157: H7 serotype (non-O157) was checked on HeLa cells adherence assay. These strains were isolated from patients with diarrhea and healthy individuals. The results obtained in this study revealed that localised adherence (LA) was manifested by 3 strains of which two belonged to serogroups O111, O127 and the thir...
متن کاملDistribution of virulence associated genes in isolated Escherichia coli from avian colibacillosis
BACKGROUND: Colibacillosis is one of the most prevalentdiseases in the world that causes multimillion-dollar annuallosses. OBJECTIVES: In order to evaluate molecular epidemiologyof some virulence associated factors in Escherichia coli,isolated from poultry, the presence of iut A, iss, hly F, omp T, iroN, afa, sfa (S)and pap G (II) were investigated by multiplex PCRassay. METHODS: Two hundred th...
متن کاملHigh Prevalence of Virulence Genes in Specific Genotypes of Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
Atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) strains are emerging enteropathogens that have been detected worldwide. A collection of 228 aEPEC strains (121 from diarrheal patients, 27 from healthy carriers, 47 from animals and 33 from raw meats) were investigated for serotypes, virulence gene profiles and phylogenetic relationships. Sixty-six O serogroups were identified. Serogroup O51 wa...
