Escherichia coli is one of the most important bacteria associated with consumption meat products causing human disease, bovines as main reservoir for this organism. Microbiological quality raw sampled at slaughterhouses was evaluated by measuring presence serogroups that produce Shiga toxin (referred to STEC), including both O157:H7 and non-O157 strains can cause Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)...

We found an epidemiological association of Hafnia alvei with diarrhea, because the organism was isolated from 12 of 77 (16%) adult Finnish tourists to Morocco who developed diarrhea and from 0 of 321 tourists without diarrhea (P < 0.001). From another group of 112 adult Finnish diarrheal patients, only 2 (2%) yielded H. alvei. In contrast to some Bangladeshi strains of H. alvei, the Finnish str...

Contamination of recreational waters with Escherichia coli and Enterococcus sp. is a widespread problem resulting in beach closures and loss of recreational activity. While E. coli is frequently used as an indicator of fecal contamination, and has been extensively measured in waterways, few studies have examined the presence of potentially pathogenic E. coli strains in beach waters. In this stu...

AIM We intended to find out the diversity of EPEC isolates among asymptomatic or diarrheal children in Iran using ribotyping. BACKGROUND Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is responsible for gastroenteritis especially in young children. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 39 EPEC collected strains were serotyped and the presence of virulence genes as well as EAF plasmid among the strains ...

background and objectives: the therapeutic options for diseases caused by escherichia coli are limited. in this study we investigated the presence of virulence factors among enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec) strains and their antibiotic resistance patterns. the isolates were also checked for the presence of class1 integrons and gene cassettes. materials and methods: this study included 7...

Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are associated with frequent incidences of waterborne infections and pose health risk to individuals who contact water for domestic or recreational uses. Detection DEC pathotypes in drinking can be used as an indicator fecal contamination. This study aimed investigate the occurrence their capacity form biofilms samples collected from different sources. In th...

The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect and antioxidant potential of quercetin nanoparticles on drug-resistant E. coli O157 in New Zealand White Rabbits. Initial surveillance lasting two years (2018-2019) was performed isolate molecular detection some virulence genes drug-resistant E.coli strains circulating NZW rabbits Egypt.The selected E.coli O157 strain our experimental...

In the absence of pipe-borne water, many people in Africa, especially in rural communities, depend on alternative water sources such as wells, boreholes and rivers for household and personal hygiene. Poor maintenance and nearby pit latrines, however, lead to microbial pollution of these sources. We evaluated the abundance of Escherichia coli and the prevalence of pathogenic E. coli virulence ge...
