Diarrhoea in children due to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.
Two hundred and ten cases of diarrhoea were investigated for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. Sixty eight (32.4%) yielded ETEC strains, out of which fifty seven (27.0%) were LT producers and six (2.9%) were ST producers. Drug sensitivity pattern indicate the effectiveness of gentamicine, streptomycin and chloramphenicol at a higher rate. (JPMA 36: 82, 1986).
متن کاملEvolution of antimicrobial resistance in enteroaggregative Escherichia coli and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli causing traveller's diarrhoea.
OBJECTIVES Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are among the most frequent microorganisms causing traveller's diarrhoea. The aim of this study was to investigate the evolution of antimicrobial resistance in EAEC and ETEC causing diarrhoea in patients who had travelled to different developing countries, comparing two periods of time, 1994-97 and 2001-04. ...
متن کاملIdentification of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated (AP) 26-base oligonucleotide DNA probes were compared with the same probes labeled with y_32p for the identification of heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The AP oligonucleotide probes were as sensitive as the radiolabeled (RL) probes in detecting LT and STA-2 target cell DNA, but the AP ST probe, which differed from ST...
متن کاملEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli--an overview.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is an important cause of traveler's diarrhea and diarrheal illnesses in children in the developing world. In this presentation we will focus on the main virulence attributes of this pathogenic category of E. coli, and discuss the evolution of studies conducted in our laboratory.
متن کاملPrevalence of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli-associated diarrhoea and carrier state in the developing world.
This study assesses the importance of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) as a diarrhoeal agent in developing countries. Odds ratios were calculated for incurring ETEC-associated diarrhoea based on data reported between 1970 and 1999. Carriage of ETEC was associated with diarrhoea in children aged less than five years, except for hospitalized infants aged 0-11 month(s) and children aged 1-4...
