Clinical Implications of Enteroadherent Escherichia coli

Intestinal immune response of volunteers ingesting a strain of enteroadherent (HEp-2 cell-adherent) Escherichia coli.

Enteroadherent Escherichia coli (EAEC) strains identified by adherence to HEp-2 tissue culture cells have been incriminated epidemiologically as important etiologic agents of diarrheal disease in both adult travelers and children in developing countries. One strain, JM 221, with no recognized E. coli virulence characteristics other than adherence to HEp-2 cells, caused diarrhea in 5 of 16 volun...

Antimicrobial activity of essential oils of cultivated oregano (Origanumvulgare) against clinical isolates of Escherichia coli

The present study was carried out to determine the potential antibacterial effect of essential oil of Origanumvulgare against antibiotic resistant E.coli. In this study, the essential oil of Origanumvulgare obtained by hydrodistillation was analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in order to determine their chemical composition. The minimum inhibitory concentrations ...

Photodynamic inactivation effect of methylene blue and toluidine blue O on ATCC Escherichia coli and clinical isolate of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli

Clinical characteristics of adult Escherichia coli meningitis.

The clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes of adult meningitis due to Escherichia coli alone have not been examined adequately. In this study, we analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of 15 adult patients with monomicrobial E. coli meningitis. The 15 patients, collected over a period of 18 years (January 1986-December 2003), included 7 men and 8 women, aged 45-77 years. They acco...
