Occurrence of Hybrid Escherichia coli Strains Carrying Shiga Toxin and Heat-Stable Toxin in Livestock of Bangladesh
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are important causes of diarrhea in humans and animals worldwide. Although ruminant animals are the main source of STEC, diarrhea due to this pathotype is very low in Bangladesh where ETEC remains the predominant group associated with childhood diarrhea. In the present study, E. coli strains (n = 35) isolated from ...
متن کاملThe heat-stable toxin I gene from Escherichia coli 18D.
The heat-stable toxin I gene in the human Escherichia coli isolate 18D is the estA1 allele. The gene is not part of a composite transposon, but inspection of the flanking DNA sequences suggests that it was at one time part of a transposon. The hypothetical transposon originated from an event other than the occurrence that formed Tn1681.

متن کاملProduction of toxin by Clostridium botulinum type A strains cured by plasmids.
Twelve strains of Clostridium botulinum type A and seven strains of Clostridium sporogenes were screened for plasmids by agarose gel electrophoresis of cleared lysates of cells from 5 ml of mid-log-phase culture. Nine type A strains had one or more plasmids of 4.3, 6.8, or 36 megadaltons (MDa); several strains showed a large plasmid of 61 MDa, but it was not consistently recovered. Four C. spor...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of heat-labile toxin expressed by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from humans.
The natural diversity of the elt operons, encoding the heat-labile toxin LT-I (LT), carried by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains isolated from humans was investigated. For many years, LT was supposed to be represented by a rather conserved toxin, and one derivative, produced by the reference H10407 strain, was intensively studied either as a virulence factor or as a vaccine adjuva...
