Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli O1:K1:H7/NM from human and avian origin: detection of clonal groups B2 ST95 and D ST59 with different host distribution

Abstract: BackgroundExtraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains of serotype O1:K1:H7/NM are frequently implicated in neonatal meningitis, urinary tract infections and septicemia in humans. They are also commonly isolated from colibacillosis in poultry. Studies to determine the similarities of ExPEC from different origins have indicated that avian strains potentially have zoonotic properties.ResultsA total of 59 ExPEC O1:K1:H7/NM isolates (21 from avian colibacillosis, 15 from human meningitis, and 23 fro… Show more

“…We preferred the "twohit" infection model over a single-infusion model because the hypotension observed with live E. coli challenge is attenuated by the prime, allowing more opportunity for acute lung injury resembling sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (17,18). The E. coli O1:K1:H7 strain (American Type Culture Collection) was chosen given its activity as an extraintestinal pathogen and uropathogen (19,20) when administered intravenously, along with demonstrated survival and growth outside of an intestinal environment (21). Animals were observed post-challenge for the onset of clinical symptoms.…”

“…The detection of 40 ExPEC-associated virulence genes was done by multiplex PCR (21,22 (Table 1). Isolates were classified as ExPEC if they carried Ն2 of papEF (P fimbriae), sfa/focDE (S/F1C fimbriae), afa/draBC (Afa/Dr adhesins), iutA (aerobactin receptor), and kpsM II (group 2 capsule synthesis) (23).…”

“…APEC, however, mainly belongs to group B2 and to a lesser extent to group D (Mora et al, 2009). According to the ''mix and match'' hypothesis (Mokady et al, 2005), a successful clone of E. coli is likely to develop and spread horizontally and vertically.…”
