TL;DR: The current level of understanding of the pathogenesis of the diarrheagenic E. coli strains is discussed and how their pathogenic schemes underlie the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, and epidemiologic investigation of these important pathogens are described.

Antidiarrhoeal activity of Zingiber officinale (Rosc.).
TL;DR: A novel mechanism of action by Z. officinale in infectious diarrhoea is reported, which exhibits its antidiarrhoeal activity by affecting bacterial and host cell metabolism.

Factors in the emergence of serious human infections associated with highly pathogenic strains of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: A better understanding of the factors responsible for the emergence of potentially dangerous STEC pathogens as well as of extensive and serious disease associated with them can enhance public health strategies to respond to them.

Clonal relationships among avian Escherichia coli isolates determined by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-PCR
Wanderley Dias da Silveira,Alessandra Ferreira,Marcelo Lancellotti,Isildinha A.G.C.D Barbosa,Domingos da Silva Leite,Antonio Fernando Pestana de Castro,Marcelo Brocchi +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that ERIC-PCR is a technique that could replace other molecular characterization techniques such as random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and reinforce previous observations that omphalitis isolates are just opportunistic agents.

Attaching and effacing lesions in the large intestine of an eight-month-old heifer associated with Escherichia coli 026 infection in a group of animals with dysentery
Geoffrey R. Pearson,K. J. Bazeley,J. R. Jones,R. F. Gunning,M. J. Green,Adrian L. Cookson,Martin J. Woodward +6 more
TL;DR: Escherichia coli O26:K60, with genetic attributes consistent with a potentially human enterohaemorrhagic E coli was isolated from the faeces of an eight-month-old heifer with dysentery, and shown to be associated with E coil 026 by specific immunolabelling.

Cloning and characterization of a novel α‐galactosidase from Bifidobacterium breve 203 capable of synthesizing Gal‐α‐1,4 linkage
Han Zhao,Lili Lu,Min Xiao,Qin-peng Wang,Yu Lu,Chunhui Liu,Peng Wang,Hidehiko Kumagai,Kenji Yamamoto +8 more
TL;DR: A novel alpha-galactosidase gene (aga2) was cloned from Bifidobacterium breve 203 and was capable of catalyzing transglycosylation as well as hydrolysis and catalyzing glycosyl transfer to various acceptors including monosaccharides, disaccharide and sugar alcohols.

Infection by verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: The best strategies for diagnosing human VTEC infection including testing for the presence of free VT in fecal filtrates and examining fecal cultures for VTEC by means of deoxyribonucleic acid probes that specify genes encoding VT1 and VT2 are currently confined to specialized laboratories and await commercial development for wider use.

Escherichia coli that Cause Diarrhea: Enterotoxigenic, Enteropathogenic, Enteroinvasive, Enterohemorrhagic, and Enteroadherent
TL;DR: There are four major categories of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli: enterotoxigenic (a major cause of travelers' diarrhea and infant diarrhea in less-developed countries), enteroinvasive (a cause of dysentery), enteropathogenic (an important cause of infant diarrhea), and enterohemorrhagic ( a cause of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome).

A genetic locus of enterocyte effacement conserved among diverse enterobacterial pathogens.
TL;DR: It is reported that in EPEC a 35-kbp locus containing several regions implicated in formation of these lesions is found, which hybridize to E. coli O157:H7 and other pathogens of three genera that cause similar lesions but do not hybridized to avirulent members of the same species.

Vero response to a cytotoxin of Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: A cytotoxin was found in culture filtrates of a number of Escherichia coli strains that differed from the known heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins of E. coli.
