Escherichia coli Isolated from Domestic Animals Pathogenic for Gnotobiotic Piglets.
Three strains of Escherichia coli isolated from infectious processes in a calf, a dog, and a cat were examined for their capacity to produce disease or death, or both, in newborn gnotobiotic piglets. The O groups represented by these particular strains of E. coli were O4: (canine origin), O6: (feline origin), and O39: (bovine origin). All three isolates upon oral administration proved to be pat...
متن کاملPetting zoo-associated Escherichia coli 0157:h7--secondary transmission, asymptomatic infection, and prolonged shedding in the classroom.
Petting zoos have been associated with E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks. Given the epidemiologic link between all cases and the farm, the hypothesis under joint investigation by the BCCDC and local health units was that the infections resulted from contact with the petting zoo animals. The purposes of this investigation were to verify the cause of the outbreak, determine the outbreak’s scope, and iden...
متن کاملPresence of multi-drug resistant pathogenic Escherichia coli in Zarjob River located in The State of Guilan, Iran
In modern medical processes, new antimicrobial drugs are being widely used in order to rapid and essential eradication of resistant bacterial strains. Broad-spectrum beta-lactamases are enzymes originated from mutations in the common plasmid genes mediators for beta-lactamases such as TEM-1, TEM-2, and SHV-1 are transferred among bacterial species. The genes coding the production of ESBL are of...

DESIGN Case finding, a case-control study of 45 cases and 188 controls, environmental investigation, and molecular subtyping of clinical and environmental Escherichia coli O157:H...
متن کاملRetreat space and human visitor density moderate undesirable behavior in petting zoo animals.
This study focused on the relationship between nonhuman animal behavior and envi-ronment- specifically, between the undesirable behavior exhibited by domestic pet-ting zoo animals in the presence of humans and the spatial design of the petting zoo environment. A spatial feature of a petting zoo referred to as a retreat space was ma-nipulated so that it affected the animals' opportunity for indi...
