Journal ArticleDOI
Virulence factors, prevalence and potential transmission of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from different sources: recent reports
Jolanta Sarowska,Bożena Futoma-Kołoch,Agnieszka Jama-Kmiecik,Magdalena Frej-Madrzak,Marta Ksiazczyk,Gabriela Bugla-Płoskońska,Irena Choroszy-Król +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to characterize E. coli strains isolated from humans, animals and food for the presence of bacterial genes encoding virulence factors such as toxins, and iron acquisition systems in the context of an increasing spread of ExPEC infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli and urinary tract infections: the role of poultry-meat.
TL;DR: The consistent observation of specific human ExPEC lineages in poultry or poultry products, and rarely in other meat commodities, supports the hypothesis that there may be a poultry reservoir for human Ex PEC and contributes to the relevance to public health, food animal production and food safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC): An Overview of Virulence and Pathogenesis Factors, Zoonotic Potential, and Control Strategies.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the virulence and pathogenesis factors of APEC, review the zoonotic potential, provide the current status of antibiotic resistance and progress in vaccine development, and summarize the alternative control measures being investigated.

Mexican unpasteurised fresh cheeses are contaminated with Salmonella spp., non-O157 Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli and potential uropathogenic E. coli strains: A public health risk
Rosa Guzman-Hernandez,Araceli Contreras-Rodríguez,Rosa Margarita Hernández-Velez,Iza Perez-Martinez,Ahidé López-Merino,Mussaret B. Zaidi,Teresa Estrada-Garcia +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that unpasteurised fresh cheeses produced in Tabasco are of poor microbiological quality and may frequently harbour foodborne pathogens.

"I Will Not Leave My Body Here": Migrant Farmworkers' Health and Safety Amidst a Climate of Coercion.
C. Susana Caxaj,Amy Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that a number of complex political and economic forces create a climate of coercion in which workers feel compelled to choose between their health and safety and tenuous economic security.

Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and simple determination of the Escherichia coli phylogenetic group.
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and rapid phylogenetic grouping technique based on triplex PCR was proposed, which uses a combination of two genes (chuA and yjaA) and an anonymous DNA fragment, was tested with 230 strains and showed excellent correlation with reference methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardization of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis protocols for the subtyping of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and Shigella for PulseNet.
Efrain M. Ribot,M.A. Fair,R. Gautom,Daniel N. Cameron,Susan B. Hunter,B. Swaminathan,Timothy J. Barrett +6 more
TL;DR: Standardized rapid pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) protocols for the subtyping of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella serotypes, and Shigella species are described.

Extended Virulence Genotypes of Escherichia coli Strains from Patients with Urosepsis in Relation to Phylogeny and Host Compromise
James R. Johnson,Adam L. Stell +1 more
TL;DR: These findings provide novel insights into the VFs of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli and demonstrate the new PCR assay's utility for molecular epidemiological studies.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that poultry may be a vehicle or even a reservoir for human ExPEC strains and APEC potentially serve as a reservoir of virulence-associated genes for UPEC and NMEC is supported, and some ExPec strains, although of different pathotypes, may share common ancestors, and as a conclusion certain APEC subgroups have to be considered potential zoonotic agents.

Comparison of Escherichia coli isolates implicated in human urinary tract infection and avian colibacillosis.
Kylie E. Rodriguez-Siek,Catherine W. Giddings,Curt Doetkott,Timothy J. Johnson,Mohamed K. Fakhr,Lisa K. Nolan +5 more
TL;DR: The potential for APEC to act as human UPEC or as a reservoir of virulence genes for UPEC should be considered, but significant differences in the prevalence of the traits occurred across the two groups, suggesting that if APEC are involved in human urinary tract infections, they are not involved in all of them.
