Genetic plasticity promotes evolution and a vast diversity in Escherichia coli varying from
avirulent to highly pathogenic strains, including the emergence of virulent hybrid …

Following infection with certain strains of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC),
particularly enterohemorrhagic ones, patients are at elevated risk for developing life …

Escherichia coli has a rich history as biology's 'rock star', driving advances across many
fields. In the wild, E. coli resides innocuously in the gut of humans and animals but is also a …

Although extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are designated by their
isolation site and grouped based on the type of host and the disease they cause, most …

Background Diarrhea is a serious health problem in children, with the highest mortality rate
in sub-Saharan Africa. Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is among the major bacterial …

Antibiotic resistance genes of Escherichia coli (E. coli) from companion animals were still
poorly understood. Here, we investigated the extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) …

Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a zoonotic pathotype associated with
human gastrointestinal disease that may progress to severe complications. Ruminants …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an important cause of diarrhoeal disease in
human infants. EPEC strains are defined by the presence of specific virulence factors …

This study was undertaken to determine the virulence and antibiotic resistance profiles of
diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in environmental waters of Johannesburg, South …

Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) can cause serious illnesses, including hemorrhagic
colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. This is the first systematic review of STEC in Brazil …
