Diarrheagenic and ESBL Potential of Escherichia coli From Publicly Shared Common Touch Surfaces

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Frequently touched surfaces (FTS) in public areas play a critical role in the transmission of infectious pathogens, including drug‐resistant bacteria. In this study, we identified multidrug‐resistant, ESBL‐producing diarrheagenic Escherichia coli on FTS.

Cuts Both Ways: Proteases Modulate Virulence of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

mBio, 2019
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal illness. EHEC uses a specialized type III secretion system (T3SS) to form attaching and effacing lesions in the colonic epithelium and outcompete commensal gut ...

Genomic Analysis of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157: H7 Strains Isolated in Saitama City

Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 2008
To elucidate the origin of infection, we conducted epidemiological and bacteriological studies to clarify the origin of five sporadic outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 between May and July 2007 in Saitama City and its outskirts.

Extensive genomic diversity and selective conservation of virulence determinants in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains of O157 and non O157 serotypes [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 causes severe food-borne illness in humans. The chromosome of O157 consists of 4.1 Mb backbone sequences shared by benign E.

Comparison of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 and EHEC Non-O157 Isolates from Patients with Diarrhea in Korea.

Japanese journal of infectious diseases, 2017
We compared 47 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 isolates with 184 EHEC non-O157 isolates from Korean patients with diarrhea. In the O157 group, the strains harboring both Shiga toxin genes (stx1 and stx2) were detected with highest frequency, whereas the strains harboring only stx1 gene were most frequently detected in the non-O157 group.

Molecular Characterisation of Escherichia coli Collected From an Urban River in Johannesburg, South Africa

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Escherichia coli isolates from the Jukskei River in Johannesburg, South Africa, are genetically diverse, indicating multiple contamination sources and potential cross‐environmental transmission between the river, humans and livestock. Moreover, the presence of pathogenic E.

Presence of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli ST678/O104:H4 in France Prior to 2011

, 2011
International audienceTwo isolates of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O104:H4 were isolated in France in 2004 and 2009. Both were characterized and compared to the strain which caused the German outbreak in 2011 and to other O104:H4 strains ...

Genetics, Toxicity, and Distribution of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Hemolysin

Toxins, 2019
The ability to produce enterohemolysin is regarded as a potential virulence factor for enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and is frequently associated with severe human diseases such as hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and the hemolytic uremic syndrome ...

CTX-M-15 Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase in a Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolate of Serotype O111:H8

, 2012
We report the discovery of a CTX-M-15-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) of serogroup O111:H8, a major serotype responsible for human enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections.
