Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a subset of pathogenic E. coli that can cause diarrhea or hemorrhagic colitis in humans. Hemorrhagic colitis occasionally progresses to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), an important cause of acute renal failure in children and morbidity and mortality in adults. Enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157:H7) has been known to cause these syndromes s...

Background and Aim: The pathogenicity of Escherichia coli is determined by the presence genes that mediate virulence factors such as adherence capacity toxin production. This research aimed to identify adhesion antibiotic resistance E. strains associated with diarrhea in piglets Colombia. Materials Methods: Presumptive were isolated from rectal swabs swine farms between 4 40 days age evidence d...

. Two hundred and thirty-five strains of E. coli were recovered from beef, chicken meat, raw milk sold in butcher shops markets the town Jijel, East Algeria. A PCR investigation revealed predominance bacterial with extraintestinal pathogenic (ExPEC) genes (19.91%). Enteroaggregative (EAEC) enteroinvasive (EIEC) bacteria also detected. Strains phylogenetic groups B1 most common; they accounted f...
