Edema disease-like brain lesions in gnotobiotic piglets infected with Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7.
Gnotobiotic piglets inoculated with Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 strains that produced Shiga-like toxin II developed brain lesions similar to those observed in edema disease of swine, including arteriolar necrosis and malacia. Loss of ability to produce Shiga-like toxin II resulted in loss of ability to cause brain lesions.
متن کاملEscherichia coli Isolated from Domestic Animals Pathogenic for Gnotobiotic Piglets.
Three strains of Escherichia coli isolated from infectious processes in a calf, a dog, and a cat were examined for their capacity to produce disease or death, or both, in newborn gnotobiotic piglets. The O groups represented by these particular strains of E. coli were O4: (canine origin), O6: (feline origin), and O39: (bovine origin). All three isolates upon oral administration proved to be pat...
متن کاملCerebral infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7 in humans and gnotobiotic piglets.
Escherichia coli O157:H7 was isolated from a fatal case of haemorrhagic colitis with haemolytic uraemic syndrome and neurological symptoms. This strain induced diarrhoea and neurological symptoms including incoordination, ataxia, and convulsions in piglets after oral inoculation. Similar neurological signs were seen in piglets inoculated intraperitoneally with bacterial extracts containing a sh...
متن کاملGnotobiotic piglets develop thrombotic microangiopathy after oral infection with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli.
Oral infection with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) may cause severe enteritis, followed in up to 10% of cases by an extraintestinal complication, the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS is characterized by a triad of symptoms: anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renalfailure due to thrombotic microangiopathy. EHEC produces several virulence factors, among which a family of phage-enc...
متن کاملScrofuloderma-Like Lesions in a Patient with Hodgkin’s Disease
A 15-year-old boy presented with several months history of bilateral axillary lymph adenopathies which were ulcerated subsequently. He had received anti-tuberculosis therapy for more than six months based on suspicious diagnosis of scrofuloderma. Histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of specific lesions of Hodgkin’s disease. These lesions were probably metastatic due to retrograde...
