2008-09-11ZeitschriftenartikelCharacterization of attaching and effacing Escherichia coli (AEEC) isolated from pigs and sheep Background: Attaching and effacing Escherichia coli (AEEC) are characterized by their ability to cause attaching-and-effacing (A/E) lesions in the gut mucosa of human and animal hosts leading to diarrhoea. The genetic ...

2012-02-16ZeitschriftenartikelExperiences from the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 outbreak in Germany and research needs in the field, Berlin, 28–29 November 2011 This report presents the main findings from an international workshop on Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), held on 28–29 November 2011, organised by the Robert Koch Institute [1]. The workshop assembled ...

2012-11-26ZeitschriftenartikelFrequent Combination of Antimicrobial Multiresistance and Extraintestinal Pathogenicity in Escherichia coli Isolates from Urban Rats (Rattus norvegicus) in Berlin, Germany Urban rats present a global public health concern as they are considered a reservoir and vector of zoonotic pathogens, including Escherichia coli. In view of the increasing emergence of antimicrobial resistant E. coli ...
