background and objective: due to low quantity of pathogens in foods, designing a broth medium to enrich simultaneously several pathogens through a suitable time to a detectable level is one of point of interest of many microbiologists. this study aimed to enrich simultaneously three food-borne pathogens (listeria monocytogenes, staphylococcus aureus and enterohaemorrhagic escherichia coli) tran...

Escherichia coli has had a central place in water microbiology for decades as an indicator of faecal pollution. It is only relatively recently that the role of E. coli as pathogen, rather than indicator, in drinking water has begun to be stressed. Interest in the role of E. coli as a cause of diarrhoeal disease has increased because of the emergence of E. coli O157:H7 and other enterohaemorrhag...

of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 pathogenesis using basic symbols. The right-hand illustration shows enterohaemorrhagic E. coli interactions with an epithelial cell.Escherichia coli O157 : H7 is a zoonotic diarrhoeal pathogen of worldwide importance. It belongs to a subset of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli that can form attaching and effacing lesions on intestinal epithelia via the ac...

E.coli O157 is one of the important causes of bloody diarrhea which can be self-limiting or may complicate into Haemolytic Ureaemic Syndrome (HUS). We are reporting a case of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (E.coli O157) in a thirty year old male who presented to the surgical OPD of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Kathmandu, Nepal with the complaint of bloody diarrhea and abd...

She was admit...

This review covers enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infections, focusing on differences in their virulence factors and regulation. While Shiga-toxin expression from integrated bacteriophages sets EHEC apart from EPEC, EHEC infections often originate from asymptomatic carriage in ruminants whereas human EPEC are considered to be overt pathogens and m...
