abstract

escherichia coli (e. coli) is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, including humans. phylogenetic analysis has shown that e. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (a, b1, b2 and d). group a and b1 are generally associated with commensals, whereas group b2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotypes. most enteropathogenic isolates, however, are assigned to group d. in the present study, a total of 102 e. coli strains, isolated from human samples, were used. phylogenetic grouping was done based on the clermont triplex pcr method using primers targeted at three genetic markers, chua, yjaa and tspe4.c2. group a contained the majority of the collected isolates (69 isolates, 67.64%), followed by group b2 (18 isolates, 17.64%) and d (15 isolates, 14.7%) and no strains were found to belong to group b1. the distribution of phylogenetic groups in our study suggests that although the majority of strains were commensals, the prevalence of enteropathogenic and extra-intestinal pathotypes was noteworthy. therefore, the role of e. coli in human infections including diarrhea, urinary tract infections and meningitis should be considered.

Phylogenetic analysis has shown that E. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D).

Adherence Patterns of Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli (VTEC) Non-O157 Strains Isolated from Faecal Samples in Iran

The adherence property of 70 verotoxigenicE. coli (VTEC) strains, not belonging to O157: H7 serotype (non-O157) was checked on HeLa cells adherence assay. These strains were isolated from patients with diarrhea and healthy individuals. The results obtained in this study revealed that localised adherence (LA) was manifested by 3 strains of which two belonged to serogroups O111, O127 and the thir...

Phylogenetic Group Determination of Escherichia coli Isolated from Animals Samples

This study analyzes the occurrence and distribution of phylogenetic groups of 391 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from poultry, cattle, and water buffalo. The frequency of the phylogroups was A = 19%, B1 = 57%, B2 = 2.3%, C = 4.6%, D = 2.8%, E = 11%, and F = 3.3%. Phylogroups A (P < 0.001) and F (P = 0.018) were associated with E. coli strains isolated from poultry, phylogroups B1 (P < 0.0...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Different Escherichia coli Phylogenetic Groups Isolated from Human Urinary Tract Infection and Avian Colibacillosis

Background: The emergence and propagation of different phylogenetic groups of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli have become a worldwide health concern in human and veterinary medicine. Therefore, the evaluation of the phylogenetic distribution of antibiotic-resistant E. coli is important for therapeutic and economic purposes. The aims of this study were to determine phylogenetic groups and patter...
