can be enough to cause infection and disease.E. coliO157:H7’s ability to cause disease in humans is a result of its ability to produce numerous virulence factors, most notably Shiga toxin (Stx). The primary target of Stx is endothelial cells, which line the interior surface of blood vesse...
Escherichia coli O157 was first identified as a human pathogen in 1982. One of several Shiga toxin鈥損roducing serotypes known to cause human illness, the organism probably evolved through horizontal acquisition of genes for Shiga toxins and other virulence factors. Escherichia coli O157 is found ...

E. coli is able to grow in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This allows it to be a facultative anaerobe bacteria. If an E. coli strain acquires virulence factors, it evolves into a pathogenic E. coli. The most dangerous strain of E.coli is E.coli 0157:H7 which causes infection through...
Human Response to Escherichia coli O157:H7 Infection: Antibodies to Secreted Virulence Factors Vaccination has been proposed for the prevention of disease due to enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), but the immune response following human infec... Y Li,E Frey,AMR Mackenzie,... - 《Infection...
Escherichia coli that are capable of causing human disease are often classified into pathogenic variants (pathovars) based on their virulence gene content. However, disease-associated hybrid E. coli, containing unique combinations of multiple canonical v
coli is a commensal bacterium when it acquires virulence factors it can occasionally act as a virulent pathogen. Furthermore, detection of phenotypically antibiotic resistant E. coli in our study starlings (despite our small sample size) exemplifies their potential as carriers for ARB. The use of ...
