Cellular responses to enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), first described in the 1940's and 1950's, remain an important cause of severe infantile diarrhoea in many parts of the developing world. EPEC do not produce enterotoxins and are not invasive; instead their virulence depends upon exploitation of host cell signalling pathways and the host cell cytoskeleton both as a means of colonizing mucosal surfaces of...
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 کاملPhenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains in Tehran, Iran
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains can be detected by serogrouping and the presence of enterocyte attaching- effacing (eae) gene. Most EPEC strains belong to a certain O antigenic group. Locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) Pathogenicity Island contains the eae gene and secretory proteins (ESPs) that introduce the attaching-effacing lesion. LEE inserted i...
متن کاملIsolation of atypical enteropathogenic and shiga toxin encoding Escherichia coli strains from poultry in Tehran, Iran
AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) strains in healthy broilers in Iran. BACKGROUND STEC and EPEC strains as diarrheagenic E. coli are among the most prevalent causative agents in acute diarrhea. Domestic animals, mainly cattle and sheep, have been implicated as the principal reser...
