Escherichia coli O157:H7

The Lancet, 1998
Escherichia coli O157 was first identified as a human pathogen in 1982. One of several Shiga toxin-producing serotypes known to cause human illness, the organism probably evolved through horizontal acquisition of genes for Shiga toxins and other virulence factors. E.

Screening for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Illinois [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 1996
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of infection with Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a tertiary referral center in Chicago, where a similar study had been performed in 1984, to evaluate cases of disease reported to the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) in 1993, and to determine laboratory practices used to detect this infection throughout the ...

Survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on Cattle Hides [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2011
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the time period that Escherichia coli O157:H7 survives on the hides of cattle. Extensive research has been conducted and is ongoing to identify and develop novel preharvest intervention strategies to reduce the presence of E. coli

Experimental Escherichia coli O157:H7 carriage in calves [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997
Nine weaned calves (6 to 8 weeks of age) were given 10(10) CFU of a five-strain mixture of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 by oral-gastric intubation. After an initial brief period of pyrexia in three calves and transient mild diarrhea in five calves, calves were clinically normal throughout the 13- to 27-day study. The population of E. coli

Chlorine Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
We analyzed isolates of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (which has recently caused waterborne outbreaks) and wild-type E. coli to determine their sensitivity to chlorination. Both pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains were significantly reduced within 1 minute of exposure to free chlorine.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 in microbial flora of sheep [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
We found naturally occurring, potentially virulent Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains in sheep. The incidence of E. coli O157:H7 was transient and ranged from 31% of sheep in June to none in November. The use of a sensitive culture technique and the choice of the proper sampling season were both essential for detecting this bacterium in sheep.

Genome structural variation in Escherichia coli O157:H7

Microbial Genomics, 2021
The human zoonotic pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7 is defined by its extensive prophage repertoire including those that encode Shiga toxin, the factor responsible for inducing life-threatening pathology in humans.

Frequency of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Turkish Cattle

Journal of Food Protection, 2002
In this study, five abattoirs in Istanbul were visited between January 2000 and April 2001. During these visits, 330 cattle were selected by a systematic sampling method. Cattle were examined clinically and breed, age, and sex were recorded. Rectal swabs were taken immediately after slaughter.

Genome sequence of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 [PDF]

Nature, 2001
The bacterium Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a worldwide threat to public health and has been implicated in many outbreaks of haemorrhagic colitis, some of which included fatalities caused by haemolytic uraemic syndrome. Close to 75,000 cases of O157:H7 infection are now estimated to occur annually in the United States.
