Chicken Skin Decontamination of Thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. and Hygiene Indicator Escherichia coli Assessed by Viability Real-Time PCR

open access: yesPathogens, 2022
Thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. are fecal contaminants of chicken meat with serious implications for human health. E. coli is considered as hygiene indicator since, in contrast to Campylobacter. spp., the bacterium is generally present in the avian gut.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1992
Abstract Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains are a leading cause of diarrhea among infants in developing countries. These bacteria spread via fecal–oral transmission and colonize the small intestine. Typical EPEC differs from atypical strains in that they possess the bfp operon and generate a type IV-B class of fimbriae known as the ...

Towards Real-Time and Affordable Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigations Using Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technologies

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The current routine laboratory practices to investigate food samples in case of foodborne outbreaks still rely on attempts to isolate the pathogen in order to characterize it.

Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Characterization of Multidrug Resistant and ESBL/AmpC Producing Escherichia coli in Healthy Horses in Quebec, Canada, in 2015–2016

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
Although antimicrobial resistance is an increasing threat in equine medicine, molecular and epidemiological data remain limited in North America. We assessed the prevalence of, and risk factors for, shedding multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended ...

Is there a Pullulanase in Escherichia coli? [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1974
No pullulanase activity could be detected in maltose-grown cultures of 11 different strains of Escherichia coli. Neither these strains, nor 40 other strains of the same species would grow on pullulan, while all of them grew on maltose and some were shown to grow on maltotriose the exclusive product of pullulanase action on pullulan.

Genomics, biofilm formation and infection of bladder epithelial cells in potentially uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) from animal sources and human urinary tract infections (UTIs) further support food-borne transmission

open access: yesOne Health, 2023
Escherichia coli is the main cause of urinary tract infections (UTI). While genomic comparison of specific clones recovered from animals, and human extraintestinal infections show high identity, studies demonstrating the uropathogenicity are lacking.

A Practical Method to Implement Strain-Level Metagenomics-Based Foodborne Outbreak Investigation and Source Tracking in Routine

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The management of a foodborne outbreak depends on the rapid and accurate identification of the responsible food source. Conventional methods based on isolation of the pathogen from the food matrix and target-specific real-time polymerase chain reactions (

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Welikade: guideline for phylogenetic analysis of serovars rarely involved in foodborne outbreaks

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2022
Background Salmonella spp. is a major foodborne pathogen with a wide variety of serovars associated with human cases and food sources. Nevertheless, in Europe a panel of ten serovars is responsible for up to 80% of confirmed human cases.

Direct Urine Resistance Detection Using VITEK 2

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2022
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in both communities and hospitals. With non-anatomical or functional abnormalities, UTIs are usually self-limiting, though women suffer more reinfections throughout their lives ...
