coli (APEC) with poultry serving as a reservoir for UPEC. Considering the public health implications and societal burden presented by UTIs, the proposed poultry reservoir for UPEC merits thorough investigation. This chapter discusses a potential foodborne link between APEC and UTIs in humans, ...
This has important implications for understanding UTI in humans. INTRODUCTION Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is estimated to cause up to 80% of community-acquired and 65% of nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs), making it the single most important etiological agent of this highly ...
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) are an important cause of urinary tract infections, neonatal meningitis and septicaemia in humans. Animals are recognized as a reservoir for human intestinal pathogenic E. coli, but whether animals are a source for human ExPEC is still a matter ...
In addition to being an important member of the normal intestinal microflora of humans and other mammals, the species Escherichia coli contains many pathotypes that cause a variety of diseases. At least six different pathotypes cause enteric disease, such as diarrhoea or dysentery, and other pathotyp...

In E. coli, the structural genes of MSase and ICLase (aceB and aceA, respectively) belong to the acetate (ace) operon and they are expressed as a polycistronic mRNA, together with a third gene aceK (see below). Because the operon contains three open-reading frames, it is often ...
Escherichia coli is a commensal of the vertebrate gut that is increasingly involved in various intestinal and extra-intestinal infections as an opportunistic pathogen. Numerous pathotypes that represent groups of strains with specific pathogenic characteristics have been described based on heterogeneous and ...
Genetic markers previously reported to occur at significantly different frequencies in isolates of Escherichia coli O157:H7 obtained from cattle and from clinically affected humans concordantly delineate at least five genetic groups. Isolates in three of these groups consistently carry one or more markers...
Escherichia coli is the leading cause of urinary tract infection, one of the most common bacterial infections in humans. Despite this, a genomic perspective is lacking regarding the phylogenetic distribution of isolates associated with different clinical
