The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of diarrhea associated with enteropathogenic, enteroaggregative and diffuse-adherent Escherichia coli in Egyptian children.
A total of 220 enteroadherent Escherichia coli were identified from 729 Egyptian children with diarrhea using the HEp-2 adherence assay. Enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC = 38) was common among children <6 months old and provoked vomiting, while diffuse-adhering E.coli (DAEC = 109) induced diarrheal episodes of short duration, and enteroaggregative E.coli (EAEC = 73) induced mild non-persistent dia...
متن کاملEnteroaggregative Escherichia coli virulence markers: positive association with distinct clinical characteristics and segregation into 3 enteropathogenic E. coli serogroups.
BACKGROUND Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are a heterogeneous category of emerging pathogens associated with acute and persistent diarrhea. METHODS We performed a case-control study to evaluate the association of EAEC strains and their virulence markers with infantile diarrhea in Brasilia, Brazil. RESULTS Of the EAEC markers that were tested, only EAEC heat-stable toxin (EAST1), ...
متن کاملEmerging Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains?
Escherichia coli strains of nonenteropathogenic serogroups carrying eae but lacking the enteropathogenic E. coli adherence factor plasmid and Shiga toxin DNA probe sequences were isolated from patients (children, adults, and AIDS patients) with and without diarrhea in Brazil. Although diverse in phenotype and genotype, some strains are potentially diarrheagenic.
متن کاملClonal Relatedness of Enterotoxigenic and Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Diverse Human, Foods and Calf Sources
Background: Foodborne infection caused by EnterotoxigenicEscherichia coli (ETEC) and Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is one of the major health problems, particularly in the developing countries. Therefore, it is vital to identify the origin of food contamination to plan control strategies efficiently. Method: A tota...
متن کاملMouse model of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an important cause of diarrhea in humans. EPEC infection of cultured intestinal epithelial cells induces attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions, alters intestinal ion transport, increases paracellular permeability, and stimulates inflammation. The lack of a small-animal model has restricted in vivo studies examining EPEC-host interactions. The aim of th...
