[2] [failed verification] The ones that do are collectively known as enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and are major causes of foodborne illness. When infecting the large intestine of humans, they often cause gastroenteritis , enterocolitis , and bloody diarrhea (hence the name "enterohemorrhagic") and sometimes cause a severe complication ...
The locus of enterocyte effacement-encoded regulator (Ler) is a regulatory protein that controls bacterial pathogenicity of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli. [1]
Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) Verotoxin-producing E. coli; E. coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain also 2006 North American E. coli outbreak; E. coli O104:H4, also 2011 E. coli O104:H4 outbreak; Escherichia coli O121; Escherichia coli O104:H21; Escherichia coli K1, meningitis; Adherent Invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), morbus Crohn ...
Kamberlyn Bowler, 15, told NBC News she is fighting kidney failure after being diagnosed with a bacterial infection called enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome ...
E. coli is the type species of the genus (Escherichia) and in turn Escherichia is the type genus of the family Enterobacteriaceae, where the family name does not stem from the genus Enterobacter + "i" (sic.) + "aceae", but from "enterobacterium" + "aceae" (enterobacterium being not a genus, but an alternative trivial name to enteric bacterium).
Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) HUS occurs after ingestion of a strain of bacteria expressing Shiga toxin such as enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), of which E. coli O157:H7 is the most common serotype. [27]
E. coli (EIEC) found only in humans Bloody or nonbloody EIEC infection causes a syndrome that is identical to shigellosis, with profuse diarrhea and high fever. Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) found in humans, cattle, and goats Bloody or nonbloody The most infamous member of this pathotype is strain O157:H7, which causes bloody diarrhea and no ...
Some strains of Escherichia coli cause bloody diarrhea. The typical culprits are enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, of which O157:H7 is the best known. These types of E. coli also make Shiga toxin. [23]
