Many bacteria, both environmental and pathogenic, exhibit the property of autoaggregation.
In autoaggregation (sometimes also called autoagglutination or flocculation), bacteria of the …

Although Escherichia coli can be an innocuous resident of the gastrointestinal tract, it also
has the pathogenic capacity to cause significant diarrheal and extraintestinal diseases …

Fast and accurate identification and typing of pathogens are essential for effective
surveillance and outbreak detection. The current routine procedure is based on a variety of …

The provisional molecular approach, proposed by EFSA in 2013, for the pathogenicity

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) constitute a subset of serotypes (E. coli O157
and some other serogroups) of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing E. coli (STEC) firmly associated …

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are the pathogenic subgroup of Shiga toxin
