Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC)

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli has since the last 2 decades been known to cause severe and bloody diarrhoea as well as haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and haemorrhagic uraemic syndrome (HUS) especially among children. The importance of screening for EHEC among children and older patients with severe symptoms is apparent. Production of the verocytotoxins

Adhesins of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

EcoSal Plus, 2005
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) was first recognized as a cause of human disease in 1983 and is associated with diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis, which may be complicated by life-threatening renal and neurological sequelae.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1998
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli has been responsible for an increasing number of large food-borne outbreaks of bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Recent developments in our understanding of the pathogenesis of disease due to enterhemorrhagic E.

EnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli

New England Journal of Medicine, 1987
The syndrome of hemorrhagic colitis was defined as a clinically distinct entity only about 15 years ago. Although it may have features similar to bacterial dysenteries due to shigella or campylobacter, pseudomembranous enterocolitis due to Clostridium difficile, ischemic colitis, and acute inflammatory bowel disease, hemorrhagic colitis is ...

Zoonotic Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli: A One Health Perspective [PDF]

open access: yesILAR Journal, 2010
Escherichia coli O157 and other enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) are food- and waterborne zoonotic pathogens that cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans but little or no discernible disease in their animal reservoirs. Like other zoonotic infections, EHEC are illustrative of the One Health concept as they embody the

Hemolytic-uremic syndrome and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Pediatric Infectious Disease, 1994
OBJECTIVES 1. To review the causes of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) with emphasis on the epidemiol-ogy of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). OBJECTIVES 2. To review the pathophysiologic mechanisms that predispose children to develop HUS. OBJECTIVES 3. To review modalities used to diagnose EHEC and HUS. OBJECTIVES 4.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli: A Family of Emerging Pathogens

Digestive Diseases, 2008
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) have emerged over the last decade as important enteric pathogens because of their potential to induce both hemorrhagic colitis and fatal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS following EHEC colitis has become the leading cause of pediatric renal failure requiring kidney transplant in North America.

Intrahost Genome Alterations in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Gastroenterology, 2009
Bacterial chromosomes are not fixed molecules; they evolve over the course of infections in human beings. During infection, a variety of strong selective pressures are exerted on the pathogen. The resulting genetic changes that occur in intestinal pathogens might influence clinical outcome and have an impact on diagnosis and epidemiology ...
