Emerging Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains?

Escherichia coli strains of nonenteropathogenic serogroups carrying eae but lacking the enteropathogenic E. coli adherence factor plasmid and Shiga toxin DNA probe sequences were isolated from patients (children, adults, and AIDS patients) with and without diarrhea in Brazil. Although diverse in phenotype and genotype, some strains are potentially diarrheagenic.

Exploitation of host cells by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Microbial pathogens have evolved many ingenious ways to infect their hosts and cause disease, including the subversion and exploitation of target host cells. One such subversive microbe is enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). A major cause of infantile diarrhea in developing countries, EPEC poses a significant health threat to children worldwide. Central to EPEC-mediated disease is its col...

Mouse model of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an important cause of diarrhea in humans. EPEC infection of cultured intestinal epithelial cells induces attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions, alters intestinal ion transport, increases paracellular permeability, and stimulates inflammation. The lack of a small-animal model has restricted in vivo studies examining EPEC-host interactions. The aim of th...
