Virulence-related O islands in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7

open access: yesGut Microbes, 2021
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a principally foodborne pathogen linked to serious diseases, including bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome.

LysR-type transcriptional regulator OvrB encoded in O island 9 drives enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 virulence

open access: yesVirulence, 2019
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 (O157) is a major foodborne pathogen that causes severe illness in humans worldwide. The genome of O157 contains 177 genomic islands known as O islands (OIs), including Shiga toxin-converting phages (OI ...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157, Kinshasa

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
To the Editor: During the rainy season, from April to September 2003, 463 children ≤15 years of age (median 10 months) with severe diarrhea were admitted to the Pediatric Hospital of Kalembelembe in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The population of the outbreak area was approximately one million.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Adhesins [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2014
ABSTRACT Adhesins are a group of proteins in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) that are involved in the attachment or colonization of this pathogen to abiotic (plastic or steel) and biological surfaces, such as those found in bovine and human intestines.

What Makes an Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli? [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2006
dothelial homeostasis, leading to HUS. However, recent reports on the association between HUS and Stx-negative E. coli strains [2] suggest that additional determinants of EHEC may also contribute to HUS development. Certainly, only a portion of Stx-producing bacteria are able to cause HUS.

Acid tolerance of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 1995
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains were tested for their ability to survive in acid pH at 37 degrees C. No loss of viability was observed in an O157:H7 EHEC strain (ATCC 43895) at pH levels of 3.0 and 2.5 for at least 5 h. The level of acid tolerance of most EHEC isolates was very high, similar to that of Shigella flexneri strains.

Introduction to the Special Issue “Molecular Basis and the Pathogenesis of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Infections”

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Although much of the world has progressed since the 1980s, our ability to treat infections with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) has unfortunately shown little improvement [...]
