Molecular characterization and antibiotic resistance of enterotoxigenic and entero-aggregative Escherichia coli isolated from raw milk and unpasteurized cheeses
The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence of enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli strains and antibiotic resistance of the isolates in raw milk and unpasteurized cheese. Out of 200 samples of raw milk and 50 samples of unpasteurized cheeses, 96 and 24 strains of E. coli were isolated, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detec...
متن کاملEpidemiological study of a food-borne outbreak of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli O25:NM by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis.
This study investigated the applicability of molecular epidemiological techniques to the identification of the causal agent of an outbreak of diarrhea caused by ingestion of food contaminated with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The outbreak occurred at four elementary schools in July 1996 and affected more than 800 people. Illness was most strongly associated with eating tuna paste (r...
متن کاملConstruction of Hybrid Gene of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Carrying Heat-Stable Enterotoxin of Escherichia coli and Its Expression in Mammalian Cell Line
Hepatitis B surface antigen is the first genetically engineered vaccine licensed for human use. Various strategies have been proposed to obtain a vaccine that would bypass the need for injection. In this study, a non-toxic portion of heat-stable enterotoxin of Escherichia coli that is capable of adhering to epithelial cells was inserted at amino acid position 112 of hepatitis surface antigen. T...
