Characterization of Escherichia coli strains producing heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb) isolated from humans with diarrhea.
Two of 49 cytolethal distending toxin-producing strains of Escherichia coli isolated from human stools contained the gene coding for heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb), as detected by a colony hybridization assay. The STb gene was found to be on a 70-kb plasmid also coding for heat-labile enterotoxin (pLT-I). Restriction endonuclease analysis showed the STb gene from human isolates to be similar t...
متن کاملHeat-stable enterotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O169:H41 in Japan.
To the Editor: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) cause diarrhea by producing either a heatlabile enterotoxin, a heat-stable enterotoxin (ST), or both. Consequently, ETEC can be identified either by detecting the enterotoxin in the culture fluid by immunologic assays or by detecting enterotoxin-coding genes with DNA probes or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. For many clinical...
متن کاملCharacterization of non-Shiga-toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157 strains isolated from dogs.
Shiga toxin-negative Escherichia coli O157 strains of various H types have been associated with diarrhea in children and are considered potentially pathogenic for humans. In this study, we describe non-Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157 E. coli strains previously obtained from dogs in Argentina. Different E. coli phylogenetic lineages corresponding to flagellar types H16, H29 and H45 were ident...
متن کاملRapid latex particle agglutination test for Escherichia coli strains of porcine origin producing heat-labile enterotoxin.
A latex particle agglutination test previously shown to be suitable for the rapid identification of Escherichia coli strains of human origin producing heat-labile enterotoxin (R. A. Finkelstein and Z. Yang, J. Clin. Microbiol. 18:23-28) is equally applicable to strains of porcine origin.
متن کاملBactericidal Effect of Selected Antidiarrhoeal Medicinal Plants on Intracellular Heat-Stable Enterotoxin-Producing Escherichia coli
Diarrhoeal diseases due to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli continue to be a cause of global concern. Medicinal plants have been gaining popularity as promising antidiarrhoeal agents. In the present study, four antidiarrhoeal plants, viz. Aegle marmelos, Cyperus rotundus, Psidium guajava and Zingiber officinale were screened against a heat-stable toxin-producing enterotoxigenic E. coli strain. ...
