Collared peccaries (Pecari tajacu) roam the forests of natural areas in America. Wild collared peccary appears to be a carrier for bacteria associated with infections humans and animals, however, presence diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) pathotypes has not been studied captive peccary. This study aimed prevalence DEC, susceptibility antibiotics, frequency β-lactamase genes (ESBL) faeces. DEC strain...

This study evaluated the microbiological quality and prevalence of Escherichia coli diarrheagenic E. pathotypes (DEP) among fresh-squeezed orange juice from street vendors their hygienic practices. Sixty stalls in Mexico City were visited, 60 samples purchased. Most (65%) had poor Twelve (20%) prepared at time purchase, while other sold already-squeezed juice. All analyzed positive for aerobic ...

To determine the presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and other potentially diarrheagenic E. coli strains in retail meats, 7,258 E. coli isolates collected by the U.S. National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) retail meat program from 2002 to 2007 were screened for Shiga toxin genes. In addition, 1,275 of the E. coli isolates recovered in 2006 were examine...

Twenty-five strains of enterotoxigenic (tox(+)) Escherichia coli isolated in India, Bangladesh, and the U.S.A. were shown to produce vascular permeability factor (PF) activity as well as diarrheagenic activity. Sixteen strains of non-enterotoxigenic E. coli were found to be PF negative. The PF response elicited by tox(+)E. coli isolated in the U.S.A. from cases of infantile diarrhea was qualita...

Background: The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria have become a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Burkina Faso. This study aims to determine phenotypic genotypic antibiotic resistant diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) from patients with diarrhea Ouagadougou, Methodology: Microbiological biochemical analysis were done detect ...
