Identification of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli seropathotypes A and B by multiplex PCR

Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2007
A multiplex PCR assay was developed to identify the six clinically important enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotypes classified in seropathotypes A and B and to differentiate these from Shiga toxigenic E. coli. The assay simultaneously detects genes for Shiga toxin (stx) and intimin (eae), including allelic variants of both genes, 16S ...

A scoping review on the prevalence of Shiga‐toxigenic Escherichia coli in wild animal species [PDF]

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2018
AbstractZoonotic pathogens constitute the major source (60.3%) of emerging infectious diseases. Previous studies have investigated the prevalence of Shiga‐toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) among wild animal species, but comprehensive data are needed to assess the role that these animals have in the transmission of STEC infections to the human ...

Capsular profiling of the Cronobacter genus and the association of specific Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus capsule types with neonatal meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus can cause serious diseases especially in infants where they are associated with rare but fatal neonatal infections such as meningitis and necrotising enterocolitis.

Identification and Classification of Multi‐Species Biofilms on Polymeric Surfaces Using Hyperspectral Imaging

Journal of Food Safety, Volume 45, Issue 1, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Biofilm‐associated contamination poses significant challenges to the food industry, particularly in ensuring effective sanitization and reliable detection. This study explores the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range for non‐destructive detection and classification of biofilms on thermoplastic polyurethane (

Evaluation of Commercial Prototype Bacteriophage Intervention Designed for Reducing O157 and Non-O157 Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) on Beef Cattle Hide

Foods, 2018
Microbiological safety of beef products can be protected by application of antimicrobial interventions throughout the beef chain. This study evaluated a commercial prototype antimicrobial intervention comprised of lytic bacteriophages formulated to ...

Cultivated meat microbiological safety considerations and practices

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Cultivated meat, produced using cell culture technology, is an alternative to conventional meat production that avoids the risks from enteric pathogens associated with animal slaughter and processing. Cultivated meat therefore has significant theoretical microbiological safety advantages, though limited information is available to validate ...

Potential immunosuppressive effects of Escherichia coli O157:H7 experimental infection on the bovine host [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), like E. coli O157:H7 are frequently detected in bovine faecal samples at slaughter. Cattle do not show clinical symptoms upon infection, but for humans the consequences after consuming contaminated ...

Unraveling the Resistome, Virulome, and Pathogenicity of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 From Cattle Feces

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Antimicrobial‐resistant Escherichia coli, especially those belonging to the serotype O157, are increasingly linked to foodborne diseases with significant fatality rates worldwide. The food and medical industries have focused on E. coli O157:H7 due to its ability to produce toxins coupled with its low infectious dose. The aim of this study was to assess

Identification of mcr-2 and mcr-3 Genes in Colistin‐Resistant E. coli O157:H7 Isolated From Raw Meat Samples in Beirut, Lebanon

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Colistin is a last‐resort antibiotic used to treat multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacterial infections. The global emergence of colistin resistance has been attributed to plasmid‐mediated mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes. In Lebanon, bacteria carrying the mcr-1 gene have increasingly been identified in food animal sources.
