The infection may spread up the reproductive tract and infect the uterus, the tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus (fallopian tubes), and sometimes the area around the ovaries. In some women, the infection spreads to the lining of the pelvis and abdominal cavity (peritoneum), causing...
A variety of bacterial infections have been implicated in triggering autoimmune thyroiditis, including Helicobacter Pylori (the same bacteria that causes ulcers), Borrelia burgdorferi (associated with Lyme disease) and Yersinia enterocolitica.
Since the late 1990s, multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (mostly E coli) that produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), such as the CTX-M enzymes, have emerged within the community setting as an important cause of UTIs. These bacteria are resistant to the groups of antibiotics that ...
This outbreak was different as it was caused by EAEC that produced a Shiga toxin and it exemplifies the threat posed by foodborne pathogens with their propensity to cause large common-source outbreaks. [13, 14] Patients with E coli dysentery (caused by STEC or EIEC) have fever, bloody ...
To develop a prediction model for serious infections (SIs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with tocilizumab in Japan and to evaluate the model's performance compared to previously developed models, i.e., 'DANBIO' and 'postmarketing surveillance' (PMS).This non-interventional ...
frequent diarrhea that may contain mucus and blood. It is possible for the infection to cause rectal prolapse, a condition in which a portion of the rectum becomes detached from the inside of the body and protrudes from the anus (Figure 4). Severely infected children may experience reduced gro...

E coli is a gram-negative bacillus that grows well on commonly used media. It is lactose-fermenting and beta-hemolytic on blood agar. Most E coli strains are nonpigmented on blood agar. If additional agars are used, it will grow pink on MacConkey’s agar, and may have a darker color ...
