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.

Structural studies of the O-antigen polysaccharide from the enteroinvasive Escherichia coli O164 cross-reacting with Shigella dysenteriae type 3.
TL;DR: The structure of the O-antigen polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O164 has been determined and it is concluded that it is composed of a pentasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure.

Analysis of Escherichia coli isolated from bovine mastitic milk
TL;DR: Analysis of Escherichia coli isolated from bovine mastitic milk shows clear trends in growth of the E. coli O157 group, which is associated with diarrhoea, especially in young children and young adults.
Molecular Evidence of Bacteremia by Gastrointestinal Pathogenic Bacteria in an Infant Mummy From Ancient Egypt
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the infant, who already had chronic anemia and vitamin C deficiency, acquired a gastrointestinal infection, which finally led to a systemic spread, which probably contributed to death due to septicemia.

Pathotyping and Antibiotic Resistance Profiling of Escherichia coli Isolates from Children with Acute Diarrhea in Amatole District Municipality of Eastern Cape, South Africa.
TL;DR: Findings showed that DEC could be considered as the leading etiologic bacterial agent responsible for diarrhea in the study community, and the observable high degree of resistance of the isolates to antimicrobial agents is of huge significance, calling for stakeholders to adopt and consolidate the existing antimicrobial stewardship scheme of the government in order to ensure an uncompromised public health.

TL;DR: This study focused on designing and evaluating RPA primers and fluorescent probes for isothermal (39°C) detection of STEC and targeted amplification of the subunit A moiety of stx1 and stx2.

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.
