The presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and resistance to beta-lactams in healthy sheep represents a potential public health risk. This study aimed to characterize STEC isolates in sheep feces for toxin production and resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. In the present study, amon...
ABSTRACT Shigatoxigenic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli with virulence and multidrug resistance profile were isolated from Nile tilapia. This study finding is of great importance to public health because they help understand this pathogen epidemiology in fish and demonstrate how these animals can t...
Escherichia coli productor de toxina Shiga (STEC) es un patógeno transmitido por alimentos que puede causar diarrea acuosa, diarrea sanguinolenta (DS) y síndrome urémico hemolítico (SUH). El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las características fenotípicas y genotípicas de cepas STEC aislada...
ABSTRACT Psittacine birds have been identified as reservoirs of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, a subset of pathogens associated with mortality of children in tropical countries. The role of other orders of birds as source of infection is unclear. The aim of this study was to perform the molecular diagno...
