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.

Detection of the astA (EAST1) Gene in Attaching and Effacing Escherichia coli from Ruminants
TL;DR: The percentage of enteropathogenic E. coli strains astA-positive found in healthy cattle (15.6%) suggests that this animal species may be a significant reservoir of atypical EPEC potentially pathogenic for humans.

First isolation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 from faecal and milk specimens from Anatolian water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalus) in Turkey
E. Seker,Hakan Yardimci +1 more
TL;DR: It was determined that 8 (73%) of E. coli O157:H7 strains isolated from faecal samples originated from water buffaloes younger than 2 years of age and 3 (27%) from 2-year-old and older waterbuffaloes.
Acquisition of virulence-associated factors by the enteric pathogens Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica.
TL;DR: It is shown how acquisition of DNA at specific sites on the chromosome has contributed to increased genetic variation and virulence of these two genera of the Enterobacteriaceae.
Dead-end ultrafiltration concentration and IMS/ATP-bioluminescence detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in recreational water and produce wash.
TL;DR: Accurate detection of microbial pathogens using DEUF and IMS/ATP could reduce disease outbreaks from contaminated water sources and food products.

Molecular characteristics of Escherichia coli serogroup O78 strains isolated from diarrheal cases in bovines urge further investigations on their zoonotic potential.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the closely related O78 strains, constituting two major PFGE-clusters, harbor various virulence features for bovine intestinal disease but cannot be grouped into one of the common E. coli intestinal pathogenic or other pathotypes according to their virulence gene pattern.

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.
