Detection of shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) in diarrhoeagenic stool & meat samples in Mangalore, India.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are causative agents of bloody diarrhoea, haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). Humans acquire infections primarily through contaminated beef. In India, STEC has not been implicated as a major cause of diarrhoea. Hence, isolation of STEC from diarrhoeagenic stool samples of patients and beef samples market...
متن کاملPrevalence of non-O157:H7 shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in diarrheal stool samples from Nebraska.
We determined the prevalence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in diarrheal stool samples from Nebraska by three methods: cefixime-tellurite sorbitol MacConkey (CT- SMAC) culture, enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) enzyme immunoassay, and stx1,2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Fourteen (4.2%) of 335 specimens were positive by at least one method (CT-SMAC culture [6 of 14], EHEC en...
متن کاملDetection of Shiga Toxin-Producing Strains of Escherichia coli (O157:H7) isolated from specimens of urinary and stool by Multiplex-PCR method
Background: Infection of shiga toxin-producing Strains of Escherichia coli has some other dangerous and deadly effects such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in addition to diarrhea. Its diagnosis is difficult and there is no information on It's incidence in Iran. The goal of this study is to evaluate and detect shiga toxinproducing strains of E. coli isolated from urinary and stool specimens ...
متن کاملShiga toxin antigen detection should not replace sorbitol MacConkey agar screening of stool specimens.
The interesting paper by Gavin et al., describing their experience using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to identify stools containing Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) (3), adds to the growing literature that non-O157:H7 STEC are overlooked pathogens. However, as physicians, clinical and public health microbiologists, and disease control epidemiologists, we are concerned by the a...
متن کاملPrevalence of Multidrug Resistant Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli in Cattle Meat and Its Contact Surfaces
Background: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are group of E. coli causing bloody diarrhea. The goal of this survey was to determine the prevalence of multidrug resistant shiga toxin-producing E. coli in cattle meat and its contact surfaces. Methods: Swab samples (n=120) were randomly collected from meat and contact surface of butchery shops in Sharkia province, Egypt. Prevalence o...
