Isolation of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O-rough:K1:H7 from two patients with traveler's diarrhea.
Two Escherichia coli O-rough:K1:H7 strains producing verotoxin 1 that were isolated from stool samples of two travelers with diarrhea who consulted our clinic after trips to the Indian Subcontinent and Central America were characterized. Both strains were sorbitol negative, the same phenotype presented by E. coli O157:H7, but in contrast they were beta-glucuronidase positive. Low-frequency rest...
متن کاملDoes levofloxacin induce hemolytic uremic syndrome in patients infected with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 infections?
Fifteen Japanese colitis patients, aged above 16 years old, infected with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 (VTEC O157) were divided into 2 treatment groups. Of the 15 patients, 6 (mean ± SD, 41.3 ± 19.0 years old) were treated with levofloxacin (LVFX), while the remaining 9 patients (32.0 ± 10.0 years old) were not treated with any antimicrobial agents. All patients complained of ab...
متن کاملEpidemiology and risk factors for infections due to AmpC β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli.
OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence and risk factors for infection due to AmpC β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (AmpC-EC). METHODS For the prevalence study, all clinical isolates of E. coli with reduced susceptibility to third-generation cephalosporins were prospectively included from June 2010 to November 2011. For risk factor analysis, a case-control study was conducted. Cases were ...
متن کاملEscherichia coli gastro-enteritis.
Mild gastro-intestinal upset is common in babies, but severe disease is not now the scourge it formerly was, and part of the great improvement in infantile mortality is due to its decline in the twentieth century. The reasons for this are not clear, and many theories have been advanced. Formerly, a considerable number of cases of gastro-enteritis were thought to be due to dietetic, that is to s...
متن کاملPrevalence and molecular characterization of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cattle and sheep in Shiraz-Iran
Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli have been associated with HUS, HC and TTP in human. We found recto-anal mucosal sample in sheep as well in cattle is the main site for E. coli O157 localization. 1246 E. coli isolates from 872 both healthy and diarrheic animals were analyzed, by screening for the presence of Shiga toxin-producing (VT 1 and VT 2) and intimin (eae) genes used Multiplex PCR. ...
