Evolution of a zoonotic pathogen: investigating prophage diversity in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 by long-read sequencing
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 is a zoonotic pathogen for which colonization of cattle and virulence in humans is associated with multiple horizontally acquired genes, the majority present in active or cryptic prophages. Our understanding of the evolution and phylogeny of EHEC O157 continues to develop primarily based on core genome analyses; however, such short-read sequences ...
متن کاملSurveillance of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in southern Thailand.
In recent years, several studies have reported infections associated with Escherichia coli O157:H7, especially in developed countries (1). Except Japan, isolation of E. coli O157:H7 has also been reported in Asian countries (2). Limited work has been carried out on E. coli O157:H7 in Thailand (3,4). Suthienkul et al. reported no E. coli O157 in retail meat and cattle (3), but it was recently is...
متن کاملEnterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E.coli O157): A Case Report from Nepal
E.coli O157 is one of the important causes of bloody diarrhea which can be self-limiting or may complicate into Haemolytic Ureaemic Syndrome (HUS). We are reporting a case of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E.coli O157) in a thirty year old male who presented to the surgical OPD of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Kathmandu, Nepal with the complaint of bloody diarrhea and abd...
متن کاملEffective medicinal plants against enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7.
The stimulating effect of subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics on the production of verocytotoxin (VT) by enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 has been claimed. The purpose of this study was to find an alternative, but bioactive medicine for the treatment of this organism. Fifty-eight preparations of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of 38 medicinal plant species commonly used...
متن کاملGrazing protozoa and the evolution of the Escherichia coli O157:H7 Shiga toxin-encoding prophage
Humans play little role in the epidemiology of Escherichia coli O157:H7, a commensal bacterium of cattle. Why then does E. coli O157:H7 code for virulence determinants, like the Shiga toxins (Stxs), responsible for the morbidity and mortality of colonized humans? One possibility is that the virulence of these bacteria to humans is coincidental and these virulence factors evolved for and are mai...
