Multidrug-resistant enteroaggregative Escherichia coli associated with persistent diarrhea in Kenyan children.
To study the association of multidrug-resistant enteroaggregative Escherichia coli with persistent diarrhea in Kenyan children, stool specimens were obtained from 862 outpatients under 5 years of age from July 1991 to June 1993. E. coli O44 was identified as the sole bacterial pathogen in four patients experiencing at least 14 days of fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Disk diffusion testing showed...
متن کاملA novel treatment approach towards Emerging Multidrug Resistant Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) causing acute/persistent diarrhea using medicinal plant extracts
Diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity especially among children in developing countries resulting in a major health care problem. Medicinal plants constitute the major component of traditional medicine practiced worldwide due to the economical viability, accessibility, and ancestral experience. Two medicinal plants (Punica granatum, Syzygium cumini) used in diarrheal...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli in cases of Diarrhea in Gorgan, IRAN
Abstract Background and objectives: Diarrhea is one of the main cases of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) is an emerging diarrheal pathogen that has been associated characteristically with persistent diarrhea among infants, particularly in the developing Counties. Therefore, we decided to study the prevalence of enteroag...
متن کاملEnteroaggregative escherichia coli virulence factors in traveler's diarrhea strains.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is associated with diarrhea in Spanish travelers to developing countries. In this study, the polymerase chain reaction was used to test EAEC isolates for genes encoding putative virulence factors, including EAEC adhesins, the plasmid-encoded toxin (Pet), a heat-stable enterotoxin (EAST), and Shigella enterotoxins 1 and 2 (ShET1 and ShET2). Findings incl...
متن کاملGenetic Virulence Profile of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Danish Children with Either Acute or Persistent Diarrhea
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is frequently found in diarrheal stools worldwide. It has been associated with persistent diarrhea, weight loss, and failure to thrive in children living in developing countries. A number of important EAEC virulence genes are identified; however, their roles in acute and persistent diarrhea have not been previously investigated. The aim of this study wa...
