A total of 90 random samples of ready to-eat-pastry foods of meat pie, meat pizza and pasta pashamil. 30 samples of each were collected from different fast foods services at Kalyobia governorate to be examined bacteriologically for detection of pathogenic Escherichia coli microorganisms. The obtained results indicate that incidence of E.coli isolated from examined samples of pastry foods were 2...

The Portulaca oleracea L. (P. oleracea) has been used to treat bacillary dysentery for thousands of years in China. Pharmacology studies on P. oleracea have also showed its significant antibacterial effects on the enteropathogenic bacteria, which might reveal the treatment of P. oleracea in cases of bacillary dysentery to some extent. To date, however, the therapeutic basis of P. oleracea treat...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Escherichia coli strain R811. This bacterium was isolated from the bloody stool sample of a common marmoset, and was categorized as enteropathogenic E. coli because it possessed eae.

Previously common in Brazil, enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains of serogroups O55, O111, and O119 are now rare, while enteroadherent strains other than EPEC, belonging to serogroups such as O125, were prevalent among 126 diarrheic infants less than 1 year old who were surveyed. None of these strains had the EPEC bundle-forming pilus (bfpA) gene.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli are a common cause of acute infectious diarrhea. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, virulence markers and antibiotic resistance patterns of diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) isolated from adolescents and adults in Hamadan, west of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 187 stool samples were collected from adults ...

Lactobacilli were isolated from chicken gastrointestinal tract and examined for their potentially probiotic properties towards their inhibitory activity against poultry enteropathogenic bacteria. Biochemical tests, ITS-PCR and cell wall protein analysis were used to characterize the Lactobacillus isolates. The identification of isolated Lactobacillus strains based on phenotypic properties was n...
