چکیده

In this report, we analyzed the prevalence of the sat gene in 336 Escherichia coli samples collected from stools of children with and without diarrhea in Brazil and in 100 uropathogenic E. coli strains. The results show a high correlation between diffusely adhering E. coli (DAEC) and the presence of sat (44%) in intestinal isolates. DAEC strain FBC114 expresses a 107-kDa protein, which showed 98% homology with Sat.

Prevalence, Molecular Characterization and Serology of Shiga toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolated from Buffaloes in West Azerbaijan, Iran

This present study is the first to report the presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in buffaloes in Iran. A total of 360 fecal samples were collected from buffaloes from different regions in the west Azerbaijan province of Iran and cultured for the isolation of E. coli using routine biochemical tests. From the fecal samples, 340 E. coli were isolated and, of these, 26 STEC i...

Evaluation of the antibiotic resistance and prevalence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli and detection of traT gene in isolated from patients referred to Abadan hospitals during 2017-2018

Objective: Escherichia coli is one of the most important causes agents of urinary tract infection in human. Thus, identification of Escherichia coli resistance patterns seems to be necessary. traT gene has been reported variable in Escherichia coli strains isolated from urinary tract infection. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli ...

High prevalence of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli carrying toxin-encoding genes isolated from children and adults in southeastern Brazil

BACKGROUND Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are important bacterial causes of childhood diarrhea in Brazil, but its impact in adults is unknown. This study aimed at investigating DEC among children and adults living in endemic areas. METHODS A total of 327 stools specimens were collected from children (n = 141) and adults (n = 186) with diarrhea attending health centers. Diarrheagenic E. ...

Molecular investigation of the prevalence and detection of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli isolated from traditional cheese in Iran

Introduction: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are one of the main causes of food poisoning and diseases such as hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome.  Food contamination mainly occurs through food of animal origin such as meat and dairy products. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence and distribution of virulence genes in Escherichia coli isolate...
