Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: intestinal pathogenesis mechanisms and colonization resistance by gut microbiota

Gut Microbes, 2022
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrhea in children and travelers in developing countries. ETEC is characterized by the ability to produce major virulence factors including colonization factors (CFs) and enterotoxins, that ...

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.

Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses to Noncanonical Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Virulence Factors. [PDF]

Eur J Immunol
Circulating antigen‐reactive CD4+ T cells and antibody responses in serum and lavage against the ETEC noncanonical virulence factors EatA, EtpA, and YghJ were found in volunteers experimentally infected with ETEC. This documents the immunogenicity of these antigens and supports their further evaluation as ETEC vaccine candidates.

Colonization factors of human and animal-specific enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).

Trends in Microbiology, 2023
Colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). This pathogen is among the most common causes of bacterial diarrhea in children in low- and middle-income countries, travelers, and livestock.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection of weaned pigs: Intestinal challenges and nutritional intervention to enhance disease resistance

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection induced post-weaning diarrhea is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in newly weaned pigs and one of the significant drivers for antimicrobial use in swine production.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) vaccines: Priority activities to enable product development, licensure, and global access

Vaccine, 2021
Diarrhoeal disease attributable to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes substantial morbidity and mortality predominantly in paediatric populations in low- and middle-income countries.

Confronting challenges to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli vaccine development

Frontiers in Tropical Diseases, 2021
The enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a diverse and genetically plastic pathologic variant (pathovar) of E. coli defined by their production of heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins.

Anethole Attenuates Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli-Induced Intestinal Barrier Disruption and Intestinal Inflammation via Modification of TLR Signaling and Intestinal Microbiota

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary anethole supplementation on the growth performance, intestinal barrier function, inflammatory response, and intestinal microbiota of piglets challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 ...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin drives enteropathic changes in small intestinal epithelia

Nature Communications, 2022
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections have been linked to non-diarrheal sequelae however, the reasons for this are unclear. Here, the authors present an additional role of heat-labile toxin in disrupting the structure and function of intestinal ...
