Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Serotype O126:H27, Israel
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a newly diarrheagenic agent wherein several predominant serotypes are reported. We studied the association between those serotypes, as clonal indicators, and the trait of enteroaggregative adherence to host cells, tested by polymerase chain reaction. We also evaluated the clinical manifestations of infection in 17 hospitalized children by our most co...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...
متن کاملClonal differentiation of uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates of serotype
Escherichia coli isolates of serotype 06: K5 are the most common causative agents of cystitis and pyelonephritis in adults. To answer the question, as to whether strains of this particular serotype represent one special clonal group, out of a collection of 34 serotype 06: K5 isolates [Zingler et al. ( 1990) Zentralbl. Bakteriol Mikrobiol Hyg [A] 274:372-381] 15 strains were selected andanalyzed...
متن کاملInvasive strains of Escherichia coli belonging to serotype O121:NM.
Ten strains of Escherichia coli isolated from 10 travellers with sporadic diarrhea who were returning to Tokyo, Japan, from abroad were found to be of serotype O121:NM and were positive in the Serény test for invasiveness; this suggests that this serotype can cause a shigellosis-like illness in humans. The E. coli O121:NM strains were positive in the cell invasion test in HeLa cells. Analysis o...
متن کاملLatex agglutination test for detection of Escherichia coli serotype O157.
The value of a latex agglutination test (Escherichia coli O157 latex test; Oxoid Ltd.) for rapid presumptive detection of E. coli serotype O157:H7 was determined by laboratory trials and during an outbreak of hemorrhagic colitis. The latex test was found to be a simple, highly efficient and reliable test in detecting E. coli O157:H7 with 100% sensitivity and specificity. It was also found that ...
