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.

Virulence behavior of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the host model Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2018
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Although a number of bacteria can cause UTIs, most cases are due to infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

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.,

Assessing the diversity of the virulence potential of Escherichia coli isolated from bacteremia in São Paulo, Brazil [PDF]

, 2013
Most of the knowledge of the virulence determinants of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) comes from studies with human strains causing urinary tract infections and neonatal meningitis and animal strains causing avian colibacillosis.

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 ...

Phylogeny, Resistome, and Virulome of Escherichia coli Causing Biliary Tract Infections [PDF]

, 2019
Escherichia coli is the most frequent Gram-negative bacilli involved in intra-abdominal infections. However, despite high mortality rates associated with biliary tract infections due to E. coli, there is no study focusing on this pathogen. In this study,

Molecular epidemiology of extraintestinal pathogenic (uropathogenic) Escherichia coli

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2005
Molecular epidemiological analyses of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which are also called "uropathogenic E. coli" since they are the principle pathogens in urinary tract infection, involve structured observations of E. coli as they occur in the wild.

High Recombinant Frequency in Extraintestinal PathogenicEscherichia coliStrains [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2015
Homologous recombination promotes genetic diversity by facilitating the integration of foreign DNA and intrachromosomal gene shuffling. It has been hypothesized that if recombination is variable among strains, selection should favor higher recombination rates among pathogens, as they face additional selection pressures from host defenses.
