Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of Escherichia coli serotype O157:H7 and other Shiga-like-toxin-producing E. coli from dairy cattle.
J G Wells,L D Shipman,K. D. Greene,Evangeline G. Sowers,James H. Green,D N Cameron,Frances P. Downes,M L Martin,Paul M. Griffin,Stephen M. Ostroff +9 more
TL;DR: This investigation demonstrates that dairy cattle are a reservoir of E. coli O157:H7 and other SLTEC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory investigation of a multistate food-borne outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and phage typing.
T J Barrett,H. Lior,James H. Green,R. Khakhria,J G Wells,Beth P. Bell,K. D. Greene,J. Lewis,Paul M. Griffin +8 more
TL;DR: Phage typing was helpful in interpreting PFGE data and could have been used as a simple, rapid screen to eliminate the need for performing PFGE on unrelated isolates, and appeared to be a more sensitive method than bacteriophage typing for distinguishing outbreak and non-outbreak-related strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waterborne transmission of epidemic cholera in Trujillo, Peru: lessons for a continent at risk.
David L. Swerdlow,Eric D. Mintz,M. Rodríguez,E Tejada,C Ocampo,L Espejo,K. D. Greene,W Saldana,L Seminario,R. V. Tauxe +9 more
TL;DR: Cholera control measures in Trujillo should focus on treatment of water and prevention of contamination during distribution and storage in the home and similar control measures are needed throughout the continent to prevent spread of epidemic cholera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemic cholera in Ecuador: multidrug-resistance and transmission by water and seafood.
J T Weber,Eric D. Mintz,R. Canizares,A. Semiglia,I. Gomez,R. Sempértegui,A. Davila,K. D. Greene,Nancy D. Puhr,D N Cameron,F. C. Tenover,Timothy J. Barrett,Nancy H. Bean,C. Ivey,R. V. Tauxe,Paula . Blake +15 more
TL;DR: The appearance of antimicrobial resistance suggests the need for changes in current methods of prevention and treatment in an epidemic-disease area in South America and specific prevention measures may prevent transmission through these vehicles in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unusual verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli associated with hemorrhagic colitis.
TL;DR: It is concluded that verotoxigenic E. coli associated with hemorrhagic colitis includes atypical O157 strains and other serotypes, and investigators should use current screening methods with caution.
