Prevalence of Verotoxin-Producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) in a survey of dairy cattle in Najaf, Iraq
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Dairy cattle have been implicated as principal reservoir of Verotoxin-Producing Escherichia coli (VTEC), with undercooked ground beef and raw milk being the major vehicles of food borne outbreaks. VTEC has been implicated as an etiological agent of individual cases and outbreaks in developed countries. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of VETEC in dia...

متن کاملAntibiotic treatment of verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) infection: a systematic review and a proposal.
OBJECTIVES A consensus has existed on not to treat verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC)-infected individuals with antibiotics because of possible subsequent increased risk of developing haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). The aim of this systematic review is to clarify the risk associated with antibiotic treatment during acute VTEC infection and in chronic VTEC carrier states. METHO...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance pattern and serotyping of Escherichia coli producing siderophore in people with urinary tract infection
Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections of human. The most common agent of urinary tract infection is Escherichia coli . This study aims to determine the prevalence of uropathogenic E. coli urinary infection in human with different antimicrobial resistance, and quantitive and qualitative study of siderophore production and their association with the ability to cau...
متن کاملPrevalence and molecular characterization of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cattle and sheep in Shiraz-Iran
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli have been associated with HUS, HC and TTP in human. We found recto-anal mucosal sample in sheep as well in cattle is the main site for E. coli O157 localization. 1246 E. coli isolates from 872 both healthy and diarrheic animals were analyzed, by screening for the presence of Shiga toxin-producing (VT 1 and VT 2) and intimin (eae) genes used Multiplex PCR. ...
