shiga toxin producing escherichia coli have been associated with hus, hc and ttp in human. we found recto-anal mucosal sample in sheep as well in cattle is the main site for e. coli o157 localization. 1246 e. coli isolates from 872 both healthy and diarrheic animals were analyzed, by screening for the presence of shiga toxin-producing (vt 1 and vt 2) and intimin (eae) genes used multiplex pcr. ...

in this study, to know about the phylogeny of escherichia coli isolated from broilers with collibacillosis in tabriz, 70 e. coli isolates recovered from broilers with collibacillosis were characterized for phylogenetic group (a, b1, b2, d) by multiplex pcr. of the all 70 samples, 35 (50%) isolates were classified as type a, 32 (45%) as type d, 2 (2.8%) as type b1 and 1 (2.8%) as type b2. thi...

familial adenomatous polyposis (fap) is responsible for < 1% of colorectal cancer (crc) cases and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. patients generally present hundreds to thousands of adenomas and develop colorectal cancer by age 35- 40 if left untreated. here we report four patients with germline frameshift mutation (small deletion) at exon 15 of adenomatous polyposis coli (apc) tum...

escherichia coli (e. coli) bacteria can damage dna of the gut lining cells and may encourage the development of colon cancer according to recent reports. genetic switches are specific sequence motifs and many of them are drug targets. it is interesting to know motifs and their location in sequences. at the present study, gibbs sampler algorithm was used in order to predict and find functional m...

the aim of this study was to isolate escherichia coli from chickens and to determine the presence of the eaea gene, a virulence factor detected in escherichia coli, in the isolates by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). different chicken organs (lung, liver and spleen) were inoculated onto blood agar and biochemical tests were performed on the suspicious isolates. escherichiacoliwas isolated from ...

waterborne outbreaks of pathogenic bacteria from contaminated water are serious threats forpublic health. coliform bacteria have been regarded as one of the most important indicators for monitoringpathogenic bacteria. to address potential pathogenic bacterial outbreaks, the distribution and diversity ofcoliform bacteria in jiahe river, which flows through densely-populated urban area in china, ...

the purpose of this work was to test the efficiency of the treatment of wastewater by infiltrationunder laboratory conditions, to remove bacterial and organic load and to convert it to available nutrient for crop plants. in order to achieve this objective, polyvinyl chloride (pvc) columns of 133 cm of height were used. the columns were filled with sand and/or pozzolana and loaded with municipal...

conclusions our data showed that, the high prevalence of beta-lactamase genes among isolates, and it. our findings may provide useful insights in replace of the appropriate antibiotics and it may also prevents of esbls, mediated resistance problem. results from 145 strains of e. coli, 51(35.2%) and 61(42.1%) isolates were resistance to ceftazidime and cefotaxime, respectively. esbl production w...

resistance to oxyimino cephalosporins antibiotics in enterobacteriaceae is primarily done by the extended spectrum β-lactamases (esbls). clear identification of risk factors for esbl-producing infections is necessary. therefore, efficient strategies can be developed to decrease outbreak of these infections. the aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial susceptibility and esbls patter...
