Managemental influences on the selective proliferation of two strains of haemolytic Escherichia coli in weaned pigs [PDF]
In an experimental study on a piggery it was found that haemolytic Escherichia coli of O-serotypes 138 or 139 proliferated in the intestinal tracts of pigs following weaning, with E.

Always one step ahead: How pathogenic bacteria use the type III secretion system to manipulate the intestinal mucosal immune system [PDF]
The intestinal immune system and the epithelium are the first line of defense in the gut. Constantly exposed to microorganisms from the environment, the gut has complex defense mechanisms to prevent infections, as well as regulatory pathways to tolerate ...

Allele- and Tir-independent functions of intimin in diverse animal infection models
Upon binding to intestinal epithelial cells, enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), and Citrobacter rodentium trigger formation of actin pedestals beneath bound bacteria.

Multiplex PCR to Diagnose Gastrointestinal Infections: Key Limitations in Interpretation
ABSTRACT Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels are increasingly used for the evaluation of acute diarrhea, providing rapid and sensitive detection of a broad range of enteric pathogens. However, their widespread adoption has created important interpretive challenges for clinicians.

Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli
The atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), a subgroup of EPEC, has the ability to cause histopathologic attaching and effacing lesions in eukaryotic cells, but lacks the virulence-associated EPEC adherence factor plasmid.

Identification of Potential Vaccine Strains of Escherichia coli Isolates From Diarrhoeic Calves
This study aimed to identify vaccine candidate Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheic calves. Faecal samples collected from 500 calves were analysed, and E. coli strains were isolated and characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence‐associated genes and MLVA genotyping were used to select 20 ...

Occurrence of Escherichia coli virulence genes in feces of wild birds from Central Italy
Objective: To investigate the potential role of wild birds as fecal spreaders of enteropathogenic, enterohemorrhagic and Shiga-toxins producing Escherichia coli (E. coli), enteropathogenic E. coli, enterohemorrhagic E.

ABSTRACT Zoonotic bacterial pathogens are a major concern for food safety, yet information regarding their occurrence in game meat remains fragmented. This systematic review synthesizes available data on Salmonella spp., Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC), Listeria spp., Yersinia spp., and Campylobacter spp.
