چکیده
An outbreak of acute diarrhoea occurred amongst babies in a special care baby unit. Thirteen babies were at risk; six suffered diarrhoea and three of these died. An Escherichia coli with an unidentifiable O antigen and flagellar antigen H23 was isolated from all six cases. This O antigen has been accepted into the international scheme as O158.

Outbreak of infantile enteritis caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli O6.H16.
Ten out of 18 babies at risk developed enteritis in an outbreak in a special-care baby unit. Salmonella, Shigella, and Escherichia coli belonging to the traditional infantile enteropathogenic serogroups were not found in faeces from the babies and the staff, and no virus particles were found by electron microscopy. Detailed serotyping of E. coli showed that five of the 10 babies with diarrhoea ...

متن کاملChemical characterization of the lipopolysaccharides from enteropathogenic Escherichia coli O142 and O158.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from two enteropathogenic strains of E. coli O142 and O158 were isolated by hot phenol-water extraction procedure. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic pattern of the LPS showed the typical ladder like pattern of smooth type of LPS. The LPS of E. coli O158 was found to contain L-rhamnose, D-glucose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine as major constituents together with D-galact...

BACKGROUND Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) are a heterogeneous category of emerging pathogens associated with acute and persistent diarrhea. METHODS We performed a case-control study to evaluate the association of EAEC strains and their virulence markers with infantile diarrhea in Brasilia, Brazil. RESULTS Of the EAEC markers that were tested, only EAEC heat-stable toxin (EAST1), ...
