Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2016
Most Escherichia coli strains live harmlessly in the intestines and rarely cause disease in healthy individuals. Nonetheless, a number of pathogenic strains can cause diarrhea or extraintestinal diseases both in healthy and immunocompromised individuals. Diarrheal illnesses are a severe public health problem and a major cause of morbidity and mortality

Escherichia coli [PDF]

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
AbstractDiverse biological data may be used to create illustrations of molecules in their cellular context. I describe the scientific results that support a recent textbook illustration of an Escherichia coli cell. The image magnifies a portion of the bacterium at one million times, showing the location and form of individual macromolecules.

Rapid emergence of extensively drug-resistant Shigella sonnei in France

Nature Communications, 2023
There have been increasing reports of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella sonnei infections in recent years. In this laboratory surveillance study from France, the authors document the rise of XDR isolates from 2005 to 2021 and perform whole genome

Emergence of New ST301 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Clones Harboring Extra-Intestinal Virulence Traits in Europe

Toxins, 2021
O80:H2 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) of sequence type ST301 is one of the main serotypes causing European hemolytic and uremic syndrome, but also invasive infections, due to extra-intestinal virulence factors (VFs).

High Risk Clone: A Proposal of Criteria Adapted to the One Health Context with Application to Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in the Pig Population

Antibiotics, 2021
The definition of a high risk clone for antibiotic resistance dissemination was initially established for human medicine. We propose a revised definition of a high risk clone adapted to the One Health context.

Population structure analysis and laboratory monitoring of Shigella by core-genome multilocus sequence typing

Nature Communications, 2022
Lab-based surveillance of Shigella has traditionally been based on serotyping but increasing availability of whole genome sequencing could enable higher resolution typing.

Occurrence and Genomic Characterization of Clone ST1193 Clonotype 14-64 in Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections Caused by Escherichia coli in Spain

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
We conducted a prospective, multicenter, specific pilot study on uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI). One-hundred non-duplicated uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) from uUTI occurred in 2020 in women attending 15 primary care centers of a ...

Escherichia coli enterohemorrágica [PDF]

Revista Española de Salud Pública, 1997
Se describen los grupos de Escherichia coli enteropatógena, con especial atención a EC. enterohemorrágica. Algunos serotipos de E. Coli verotoxigénica son capaces de producir enteritis hemorrágica, que puede complicarse con el síndrome hemolítico urémico. Esta complicación, se da en particular en los niños y presenta una elevada letalidad.

Universal scaling relation and criticality in metabolism and growth of Escherichia coli [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Research 6, 013035 (2024), 2023
The metabolic network plays a crucial role in regulating bacterial metabolism and growth, but it is subject to inherent molecular stochasticity. Previous studies have utilized flux balance analysis and the maximum entropy method to predict metabolic fluxes and growth rates, while the underlying principles governing bacterial metabolism and growth ...

Transforming Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli surveillance through whole genome sequencing in food safety practices

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionShiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a gastrointestinal pathogen causing foodborne outbreaks. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) in STEC surveillance holds promise in outbreak prevention and confinement, in broadening STEC epidemiology
