Clonal relationships among Escherichia coli strains that cause hemorrhagic colitis and infantile diarrhea.
The genetic relationships among 1,300 isolates of Escherichia coli representing 16 serotypes associated with enteric disease, including O157:H7 strains recovered from patients with hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome and O26:H11, O55:H6, O55:H7, O111:H2, and O128:H2 strains, many of which were isolated originally from infants with diarrhea, were estimated from allelic variation am...
متن کاملVirulence factors and clonal relationships among Escherichia coli strains isolated from broiler chickens with cellulitis.
In this study, we compared Escherichia coli isolates from chickens with avian cellulitis with those from feces of healthy chickens. Cellulitis-derived strains presented phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of greater virulence than did the fecal isolates. Phylogenetic analysis by repetitive extragenic palindromic-PCR showed that, in agreement with their virulence characteristics, the cellul...
متن کاملClonal relationships among bloodstream isolates of Escherichia coli.
The clonal relationships among 187 bloodstream isolates of Escherichia coli from 179 patients at Boston, Mass., Long Beach, Calif., and Nairobi, Kenya, were determined by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MLEE), analysis of polymorphisms associated with the ribosomal operon (ribotyping), and serotyping. MLEE based on 20 enzymes resolved 101 electrophoretic types (ETs), forming five clusters; r...
متن کاملHep-2–Adherent Escherichia coli Strains Associated with Acute Infantile Diarrhea, São Paulo, Brazil
In this paired case-control study of infants with diarrhea in São Paulo, we examined the association between HEp-2-adherent Escherichia coli strains and diarrhea. We tested isolates from stool specimens of infants with diarrhea and matched controls in an HEp-2 cell adherence assay; we then hybridized isolates with DNA probes and identified enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroaggregative E. c...
متن کاملGenetic relationships and clonal structure of strains of Escherichia coli causing neonatal septicemia and meningitis.
Genetic diversity and relationships among 63 isolates of Escherichia coli from infants in Finland with septicemia or meningitis were assessed by analyzing electrophoretic variation in 21 enzymes encoded by chromosomal genes. Thirty-nine multilocus genotypes (electrophoretic types) were distinguished, 23 of which formed a closely related, distinctive subset (group 1) of five or six clones repres...
