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

Characterization of Bacteriophages Targeting Non-O157 Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli
Non-O157 Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are an important group of foodborne pathogens, implicated in several outbreaks and recalls in the past 2 decades. It is therefore crucial to devise effective control strategies against these pathogens. Bacteriophages present an attractive alternative to conventional pathogen control methods in the food ...

Shiga Toxigenic and Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in the Feces and Carcasses of Slaughtered Pigs [PDF]
Escherichia coli is a pathogen of major importance in swine and public health. To determine the prevalence of Shiga toxigenic E. coli (STEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), samples were collected from the feces and carcasses of swines. In total, 441 samples were collected in four samplings, of which 141 samples tested positive for either the stx1,

Molecular Surveillance of Shiga Toxigenic Escherichia coli O157 by PulseNet USA
PulseNet USA is the national molecular subtyping network system for foodborne disease surveillance. Sixty-four public health and food regulatory laboratories participate in PulseNet USA and routinely perform pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from humans, food, water, and the environment on a real-time basis ...

Shiga Toxin–Producing Escherichia coli O157, England and Wales, 1983–2012
We evaluated clinical Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 infections in England and Wales during 1983–2012 to describe changes in microbiological and surveillance methods.

Virulence Characterization of Shiga-Toxigenic Escherichia coli Isolates from Wholesale Produce [PDF]
ABSTRACT The 13 Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) strains isolated from wholesale spinach and lettuce consisted mostly of serotypes that have not been implicated in illness. Among these strains, however, were two O113:H21 that carried virulence genes common to this pathogenic serotype ...

This graphical summary illustrates the isolation and identification of Escherichia coli in samples from the milk production chain. The classical culture methods and molecular methods were used to identify E. coli, followed by the characterisation of biofilm formation, curli production and motility, and verification of pathogenicity and environmental ...
