The 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 کاملMultidrug-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 کاملEnteroaggregative Escherichia coli virulence factors are found to be associated with infantile diarrhea in Brazil.
We have previously shown that enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an important pathogen among Brazilian infants. Most EAEC strains harbor a plasmid (pAA) from which a DNA fragment has been used as a probe (EAEC probe). To better understand the characteristics of EAEC in Brazil, 109 strains carrying and lacking the EAEC probe sequence were tested for the presence of pAA plasmid-borne an...
متن کاملEnteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are an increasingly important cause of diarrhoea. E. coli belonging to this category cause watery diarrhoea, which is often persistent and can be inflammatory. EAEC have been implicated in sporadic diarrhoea in children and adults, in both developing and developed countries, and have been identified as the cause of several outbreaks worldwide. EAEC are ...
