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 کاملColonization of returning travelers with CTX-M-producing Escherichia coli.
BACKGROUND We previously identified foreign travel as a risk factor for acquiring infections due to CTX-M (active on cefotaxime first isolated in Munich) producing Escherichia coli. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E coli among stool samples submitted from travelers as compared to non-travelers (a non-traveler had not bee...
متن کاملLoss of O157 O antigenicity of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 surviving under starvation conditions.
Verotoxin (VT)-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 was culturable on agar media after being left in water for 21 months. However, there were a number of colonies which had lost O157 O antigenicity. These colonies produced VTs, which are pathogenic to humans. These observations suggest that the immunologic methods based on O157 O antigenicity are unable to detect and isolate VT-producing E. coli ...
متن کاملCTX-M-15–producing Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli as Cause of Travelers’ Diarrhea
Travelers' diarrhea is a major public health problem. From patients in whom diarrhea developed after travel to India, 5 enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strains carrying β-lactamase CTX-M-15 were identified; 3 belonged to clonal complex sequence type 38. This β-lactamase contributes to the multidrug resistance of enteroaggregative E. coli, thereby limiting therapeutic alternatives.
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...
