Surveillance of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in southern Thailand.
In recent years, several studies have reported infections associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, especially in developed countries (1). Except Japan, isolation of E. coli O157:H7 has also been reported in Asian countries (2). Limited work has been carried out on E. coli O157:H7 in Thailand (3,4). Suthienkul et al. reported no E. coli O157 in retail meat and cattle (3), but it was recently is...
متن کاملEffective medicinal plants against enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7.
The stimulating effect of subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics on the production of verocytotoxin (VT) by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 has been claimed. The purpose of this study was to find an alternative, but bioactive medicine for the treatment of this organism. Fifty-eight preparations of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of 38 medicinal plant species commonly used...
متن کاملThe Importance of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Foodborn Infection
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157: H7 is one of the most important causes of bloody diarrhea. This bacterium is able to make bloody diarrhea or Hemorrhagic Colitis (HC) through verotoxin or shigatoxin production, and in acute forms it may lead to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) or Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpurea (TTP). Contamination with E. coli O157:H7 usually happens after consumpt...
متن کاملContribution of dps to acid stress tolerance and oxidative stress tolerance in Escherichia coli O157:H7.
An Escherichia coli O157:H7 dps::nptI mutant (FRIK 47991) was generated, and its survival was compared to that of the parent in HCl (synthetic gastric fluid, pH 1.8) and hydrogen peroxide (15 mM) challenges. The survival of the mutant in log phase (5-h culture) was significantly impaired (4-log(10)-CFU/ml reduction) compared to that of the parent strain (ca. 1.0-log(10)-CFU/ml reduction) after ...
متن کاملChromosomal instability in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7: impact on adherence, tellurite resistance and colony phenotype
Tellurite (Tel) resistant enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a global pathogen. In strain EDL933 Tel resistance (Tel(R) ) is encoded by duplicate ter cluster in O islands (OI) 43 and 48, which also harbour iha, encoding the adhesin and siderophore receptor Iha. We identified five EHEC O157:H7 strains that differentiate into large (L) colonies and small (S) colonies with high ...
