Characterisation of Typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC) and bfpA Genes From Five Bat Species Reveals Australian Pteropus Spp. Are Natural tEPEC Hosts. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
This study revealed that Australia's five Pteropus bat species are all natural hosts of typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC)—historically considered a human‐specific pathogen. Across the five Pteropus spp., tEPEC prevalence ranged between 14.2% and 37.0%, with 18 bat‐specific tEPEC strain types and 24 bat‐specific bfpA allele types ...

Colon Single Stripe Sign in Chronic NSAID Use During Norovirus Infection: A Two‐Hit Model of Ischemic Colitis [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT The colon single stripe sign (CSSS) is associated with ischemic‐pattern colonic injury. We report a 69‐year‐old woman with norovirus infection, hematochezia, recurrent left‐sided colitis, and chronic NSAID use found to have CSSS on colonoscopy, suggesting a multifactorial “two‐hit” mechanism involving NSAID‐related mucosal vulnerability and ...

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Membrane Vesicles (MVs) exhibit immunomodulatory and bactericidal effects against Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to an increase in multidrug-resistant bacteria, necessitating the search for effective alternative therapies to reduce antimicrobial use.

The Transcription of Flagella of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli O127:H6 Is Activated in Response to Environmental and Nutritional Signals

Microorganisms, 2022
The flagella of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) O127:H6 E2348/69 mediate adherence to host proteins and epithelial cells. What environmental and nutritional signals trigger or down-regulate flagella expression in EPEC are largely unknown.

Nitrate enrichment does not affect enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in aquatic microcosms but may affect other strains present in aquatic habitats [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Eutrophication of the planet’s aquatic systems is increasing at an unprecedented rate. In freshwater systems, nitrate—one of the nutrients responsible for eutrophication—is linked to biodiversity losses and ecosystem degradation.
