Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli - an overview [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is an important cause of traveler's diarrhea and diarrheal illnesses in children in the developing world. In this presentation we will focus on the main virulence attributes of this pathogenic category of E.

Animal Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

EcoSal Plus, 2016
EnterotoxigenicEscherichia coli(ETEC) is the most common cause ofE. colidiarrhea in farm animals. ETEC are characterized by the ability to produce two types of virulence factors: adhesins that promote binding to specific enterocyte receptors for intestinal colonization and enterotoxins responsible for fluid secretion.

Drug Susceptibility Testing and Synergistic Antibacterial Activity of Curcumin with Antibiotics against Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Antibiotics, 2019
Aim: This study investigated the susceptibility of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli to curcumin, as well as its synergistic effect with 12 antimicrobial drugs. Methods and Results: Our study shows that curcumin did not affect bacterial growth.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in Blantyre, Malawi. [PDF]

Access Microbiol
We announce the deposition of the first two enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) genomes from Malawi. They were isolated from the faeces of asymptomatically infected children obtained in 2014. Both genomes encode the porcine variant of the heat labile toxin and no known ETEC colonisation factors.

Heat-Stable Enterotoxins of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Their Impact on Host Immunity [PDF]

Toxins, 2019
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are an important diarrhea-causing pathogen and are regarded as a global threat for humans and farm animals. ETEC possess several virulence factors to infect its host, including colonization factors and enterotoxins.

Individual-specific changes in the human gut microbiota after challenge with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and subsequent ciprofloxacin treatment [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2016
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrhea in inhabitants from low-income countries and in visitors to these countries. The impact of the human intestinal microbiota on the initiation and progression of ETEC diarrhea is not yet ...

Status of vaccine research and development for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

Vaccine, 2016
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the most common bacterial causes of diarrhea-associated morbidity and mortality, particularly among infants and young children in developing countries. Still, the true impact on child and traveler health is likely underestimated.
