Multiplex PCR for detection of three plasmid-borne genes of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strains.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a novel multiplex PCR assay for enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) detection, by using three plasmid-borne genes (the aggregative adherence [AA] probe, aap, and aggR). One or more of the loci were detected in 24 (86%) of 28 patient isolates analyzed. The multiplex PCR assay is a fast, convenient, and sensitive molecular test to detect EAEC.

Background: Infection of shiga toxin-producing Strains of Escherichia coli has some other dangerous and deadly effects such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in addition to diarrhea. Its diagnosis is difficult and there is no information on It's incidence in Iran. The goal of this study is to evaluate and detect shiga toxinproducing strains of E. coli isolated from urinary and stool specimens ...
متن کاملA Novel pAA Virulence Plasmid Encoding Toxins and Two Distinct Variants of the Fimbriae of Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is an increasingly recognized pathogen associated with acute and persistent diarrhea worldwide. While EAEC strains are considered highly heterogeneous, aggregative adherence fimbriae (AAFs) are thought to play a pivotal role in pathogenicity by facilitating adherence to the intestinal mucosa. In this study, we optimized an existing multiplex PCR to targ...
متن کاملIdentification of Biofilm Encoding Genes (agg) in the Escherichia coli Isolates by Multiplex-PCR Method
Introduction: Biofilm is a collection of microbial cells that are irreversibly suppressed and mildly washed away. The aggR gene is located on the main plasmid (pAA), which codes for many actuator factors. The pathogen strains of EAEC have an aggR gene, the gene has been identified in six classes of pathogenic E. coli. Materials & Methods: In the present study, 60 stool samples from children ...

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative strains ofEscherichia coli in chicken carcasses by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In this study 63 strains of E. coliwere isolated from 110 samples of chicken carcasses during processing after chilling in the poultry slaughterhouse of Shahrekord. Polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect t...

Background: Foodborne outbreaks associated with shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have been well documented worldwide. STECs are major causative agents of gastroenteritis in humans that may be complicated by hemorrhagic colitis (HC), hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura (TTP). OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of vi...
