Fitness Tradeoffs of Antibiotic Resistance in Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2018
Evolutionary trade-offs occur when selection on one trait has detrimental effects on other traits. In pathogenic microbes, it has been hypothesized that antibiotic resistance trades off with fitness in the absence of antibiotic. Although studies of single resistance mutations support this hypothesis, it is unclear whether trade-offs are maintained over

Reservoirs of Extraintestinal PathogenicEscherichia coli

Microbiology Spectrum, 2015
ABSTRACT Several potential reservoirs for the Escherichia coli strains that cause most human extraintestinal infections (extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli ; ExPEC) have been identified, including the human intestinal tract and various non-human reservoirs, such as companion animals,

Escherichia albertii isolated from the bloodstream of a patient with liver cirrhosis in China: A case report

Heliyon, 2023
A rare case of bacteremia caused by Escherichia albertii, in a 50-year-old male with liver cirrhosis was reported. Clear, colorless, and circular colonies were recovered on blood agar after 24 h of aerobic incubation at 37 °C.

Canine Feces as a Reservoir of Extraintestinal PathogenicEscherichia coli [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2001
ABSTRACTTo test the canine reservoir hypothesis of extraintestinal pathogenicEscherichia coli(ExPEC), 63 environmental canine fecal deposits were evaluated for the presence of ExPEC by a combination of selective culturing, extended virulence genotyping, hemagglutination testing, O serotyping, and PCR-based phylotyping.

Genome Sequence of a Porcine Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli Strain [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2011
ABSTRACT Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is an important pathogen which can infect humans and animals and cause many diseases outside the intestine. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of a porcine ExPEC strain, PCN033, isolated from a pig with meningitis.

Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli – threat connected with food-borne infections

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2019
Infections caused by extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are a serious public health problem worldwide. The most troublesome are urinary tract infections, severe neonatal meningitis, serious intraabdominal infections, and more rarely ...

Bronchopneumonia Associated with Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia Coli in a Horse [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2008
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains carrying distinct virulence attributes are known to cause diseases in humans and animals and infect organs other than the gastrointestinal tract. A fatal case of bronchopneumonia in a 12-year-old female Quarterhorse was investigated. Following postmortem examination, E. coli, Enterococcus sp.,

The role of the bacterial protease Prc in the uropathogenesis of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2020
Abstract Background Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) remains one of the most prevalent bacterial pathogens that cause extraintestinal infections, including neonatal meningitis, septicemia, and urinary tract (UT) infections (UTIs).

Extraintestinal PathogenicEscherichia coliSurvives within Neutrophils [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2007
ABSTRACTExtracellular pathogenicEscherichia coli(ExPEC) strains are common causes of a variety of clinical syndromes, including urinary tract infections, abdominal infections, nosocomial pneumonia, neonatal meningitis, and sepsis. ExPEC strains are extracellular bacterial pathogens; therefore, the innate immune response (e.g., professional phagocytes ...

Heteropathogenic virulence and phylogeny reveal phased pathogenic metamorphosis in Escherichia coli O2:H6

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2014
Extraintestinal pathogenic and intestinal pathogenic (diarrheagenic) Escherichia coli differ phylogenetically and by virulence profiles. Classic theory teaches simple linear descent in this species, where non‐pathogens acquire virulence traits and emerge
