Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC or EAggEC) are a pathotype of Escherichia coli which cause acute and chronic diarrhea in both the developed and developing world. [1] [2] They may also cause urinary tract infections. [2] EAEC are defined by their "stacked-brick" pattern of adhesion to the human laryngeal epithelial cell line HEp-2. [3]
The previously healthy, active 15-year-old is now hospitalized and battling kidney failure — a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of E. coli poisoning.
Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) invades (passes into) the intestinal wall to produce severe diarrhea. Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC): A type of EHEC, E. coli O157:H7, can cause bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (anemia and kidney failure). Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) produces a toxin that acts on the intestinal lining, and is the ...
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a serotype of the bacterial species Escherichia coli and is one of the Shiga-like toxin–producing types of E. coli. It is a cause of disease, typically foodborne illness, through consumption of contaminated and raw food, including raw milk and undercooked ground beef.
A Colorado teen told NBC News she is battling kidney failure as a result of E. coli poisoning linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders.
Colo. Teen, 15, Battling Kidney Failure After Reportedly Eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounders amid E. Coli Outbreak Kimberlee Speakman October 29, 2024 at 12:22 PM
E. coli is a very versatile host for the production of heterologous proteins, [104] and various protein expression systems have been developed which allow the production of recombinant proteins in E. coli. Researchers can introduce genes into the microbes using plasmids which permit high level expression of protein, and such protein may be mass ...
Some humans can also be asymptomatic carriers. Once the bacteria colonizes, diarrhea followed by bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, typically follows. Other serotypes of STEC also cause disease, inlduding HUS, as occurred with E. coli O104:H4, which triggered a 2011 epidemic of STEC-HUS in Germany. [45]
