Virulence factors and biochemical characteristics of serotypes of Escherichia coli serogroup O29.
Escherichia coli strains belonging to serogroup O29 were studied. Invasiveness was the most common virulence factor described in this serogroup, but a few papers also reported production of heat-stable (ST) enterotoxin. In the present study invasive ability was found in O29:H- strains, whereas production of ST-I enterotoxin was observed only in serotype O29:H21 strains, showing that virulence w...
متن کاملProduction of cytolethal distending toxin and other virulence characteristics of Escherichia coli strains of serogroup O86.
Genetic and phenotypic virulence markers of different categories of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli were investigated in 106 strains of enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) serogroup O86. The most frequent serotype found was O86:H34 (86%). Strains of this serotype and the non motile ones behaved as EPEC i.e., carried eae, bfpA and EAF DNA sequences and presented localised adherence to HeLa cells. Se...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR for detection of trait and virulence factors in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli serotypes.
A multiplex PCR assay was developed which allowed the simultaneous detection of five trait genes or virulence markers in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotypes. A primer pair, designed to detect a single base-pair mutation in the uidA gene, is specific only for the prototypic EHEC of O157:H7 serotype and its toxigenic, non-motile variants. In a similar way, primers to the eaeA gene...
متن کاملVirulence factors, Serotypes and Antimicrobial Suspectibility Pattern of Escherichia coli in Urinary Tract Infections
Purpose: To study the virulence factors, serotypes of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) and antimicrobial suspectibility pattern. Methods: A total of 200 Escherichia coli from symptomatic cases of urinary tract infections and 50 stool samples from apparently healthy individuals were included. UPEC were screened for virulence factors namely haemolysin, mannose resistant, mannose sensitive ha...
متن کاملgenotyping of virulence factors of uropathogenic escherichia coli by pcr
background: escherichia coli is the most causative agent of urinary tract infections (utis). apart from all human infectious diseases, uti have a high prevalence and in most cases, escherichia coli is a dominance bacterium which can cause pyelonephritis and cystitis. the aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of some virulence genes expressing fimbriae, production of hemolysin and aer...
