enteroaggregative escherichia coli, a heterogenous, underestimated and under-diagnosed e. coli pathotype in iran
نویسندگان
چکیده
the main features of enteroaggregative escherichia coli (eaec) pathogenesis include attachment of bacteria to the intestinal mucosa, production of various toxins and cytotoxins, and stimulation of mucosal inflammation. ‘virulence’ genes encode these features. comparison of different eaec isolates has shown that the virulence gene content of these isolates varies considerably. the heterogeneity of eaec strains was concluded from the results obtained from the volunteer as well as other studies. although the underlying mechanism behind the apparent increase in o104:h4 virulence is not known, several bacterial factors have been implicated. in this review, the known virulence factors involved in pathogenesis of eaec pathotype are summarized.

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 ...
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: epidemiology, virulence and detection.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a subgroup of diarrhoeagenic E. coli (DEC) that during the past decade has received increasing attention as a cause of watery diarrhoea, which is often persistent. EAEC have been isolated from children and adults worldwide. As well as sporadic cases, outbreaks of EAEC-caused diarrhoea have been described. The definition of EAEC is the ability of the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Prevalence, Homology and Immunogenicity of Dispersin among Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli Isolates from Iran
Background: Diarrhea, caused by enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC), is an important cause of illness and death. Numerous virulent factors have been described in EAEC. However, their prevalence was highly variable among EAECs of distinct geographic locations. Studies have shown that dispersin (antiaggregation protein, aap) is one of the important and abundant virulent factors in EAEC. In ...
