Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a gram-negative bacillus and resident of the normal intestinal
microbiota. However, some E. coli strains can cause diseases in humans, other mammals …

Although Escherichia coli can be an innocuous resident of the gastrointestinal tract, it also
has the pathogenic capacity to cause significant diarrheal and extraintestinal diseases …

Escherichia coli is the predominant nonpathogenic facultative flora of the human intestine.
Some E. coli strains, however, have developed the ability to cause disease of the …

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common cause of E. coli diarrhea in
farm animals. ETEC are characterized by the ability to produce two types of virulence factors …

Since their initial recognition 20 years ago, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)
strains have emerged as an important cause of serious human gastrointestinal disease …

Escherichia coli is one of the most important causes of postweaning diarrhea in pigs. This

The objective of this review is to highlight the importance of cattle in human disease due to
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and to discuss features of STEC that are …

The effects of pathogenic organisms on host intestinal epithelial cells are vast. Innumerable
signalling pathways are triggered leading ultimately to drastic changes in physiological …

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection is the most common type of colibacillosis
of young animals (primarily pigs and calves), and it is a significant cause of diarrhoea …
