Screening for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in infants with diarrhea by the fluorescent-actin staining test.
The attaching effacing (AE) adherence property is now recognized as an important virulence characteristic of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). The fluorescent-actin staining (FAS) test (S. Knutton, T. Baldwin, P. H. Williams, and A. S. McNeish, Infect. Immun. 57:1290-1298, 1989), which is diagnostic for the AE lesions produced by EPEC (and Vero cytotoxin-producing E. coli), has provided...
متن کاملEnteropathogenic Escherichia coli serotypes and endemic diarrhea in infants.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli serotypes were searched for in feces of 550 children with endemic diarrhea and in 129 controls, in São Paulo, in 1978 and 1979; serotypes O111ab:H(-), O111ab:H(2), and O119:H6 were significantly associated with diarrhea in children 0 to 5 months old and were the most frequent agents of diarrhea in this age group as compared with enterotoxigenic and enteroinvasi...
متن کاملEnteropathogenic Escherichia coli associated with diarrhea in children and adults.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from diarrheal children and adults were studied. Twenty-two OK groups were set up as enteropathogenic Eschericha to include : O26: K60, O28a, 28c : K73, O44: K74, O55: K59, O86: K61, O86: K62, O111: K58, O112a,112c : K66, 0119: K69, O124: K72, O125: K70, O126: K71, O127: K61, O86: K63, O128: K67, O136: K78, O143: Kx1, O144: Kx2, O146: K87, A-D (Alkales...
متن کاملReduced etiological role for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in cases of diarrhea in Brazilian infants.
Previously common in Brazil, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains of serogroups O55, O111, and O119 are now rare, while enteroadherent strains other than EPEC, belonging to serogroups such as O125, were prevalent among 126 diarrheic infants less than 1 year old who were surveyed. None of these strains had the EPEC bundle-forming pilus (bfpA) gene.
متن کاملcharacterization of enteropathogenic escherichia coli associated with diarrhea among iranian infants
conclusions this study suggests that epec strains are important contributors to diarrhea in iranian children. because of the weakness of routine microbiological tests and poor specifity of serological tests, it is recommended that the epec strains are better detected by molecular methods. results the e. coli isolates were confirmed by the presence of the uida gene. the epec was diagnosed in 6 c...
