Diarrhoea caused byEscherichia coli

Abstract: Since the mid-1940s, Escherichia coli has been recognized as a cause of diarrhoea. Subsequently it has been shown that at least five different pathogenic mechanisms are used to cause disease. Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) produce a noninflammatory diarrhoea, whereas enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC) produce an inflammatory diarrhoea. ETEC are a major cause of diarrhoea in infants (up to three episodes per… Show more

“…In relation to age, E. coli was also the most predominant in both children and adult groups. This finding is in agreement with many studies that revealed high rates of isolation of E. coli from infectious diarrhoea (Hart et al, 1993;Jindale et al, 1995;Yah et al, 2007). In the 1940s, E. coli was incriminated in outbreaks of childhood diarrhoea, especially in nurseries (Carpenter, 1989).…”

“…In the 1940s, E. coli was incriminated in outbreaks of childhood diarrhoea, especially in nurseries (Carpenter, 1989). Since then, E. coli has found to be the most common cause of acute bacterial diarrhoea in children and neonates in developing countries (Hart et al, 1993). In an Indian study investigating enteric bacterial infections in diverse age groups, the predominant isolate was E. coli with percentage of 44.4 % (Jindale et al, 1995).…”

“…In many cases, extreme fluid loss (up to 10 times per day) accompanies the disease, consequently, dehydration occurs if fluids are not replenished. 36 Earlier studies have implicated ETEC with watery, cholera-like diarrhea in India and Brazil. 37,38 In this study, 81% of the patients who had ETEC diarrhea reported watery stools.…”

“…and Shigella spp., are the most common bacterial agents of infectious diarrhea in Iran and other developing countries (9). EPEC is among the most common pathogens infecting children under five years of age in developing countries, but the prevalence may vary depending on differences in the study population, age group, diagnostic criteria, and diagnostic tools used (13)(14)(15). Various studies carried out in Iran and abroad have shown a significant association between EPEC and children's diarrhea compared to the controls (16).…”
