Title: | Identification of a cluster of strains bearing a new adhesin among genetically diverse enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates of serogroup O20 | Authors: | Pichel, Mariana Binsztein, Norma Gutkind, Gabriel Viboud, Gloria I. |
Keywords: | Escherichia coli;Proteínas de Escherichia coli;Infecciones por Escherichia coli;Análisis por Conglomerados;Adhesinas de Escherichia coli;Electroforesis en Gel de Campo Pulsado;Variación Genética;Serotipificación | Issue Date: | 2001 | Description: | About one-third of the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates lack any of the known colonization factors. Among this group, those of serogroup O20 are the most frequently isolated in Argentina. By combining analysis of adhesion to Caco-2 cells, random amplified polymorphic DNA, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis techniques, we were able to identify three sets of closely related strains with different binding properties. Further analysis of the most prevalent group revealed that all these isolates expressed the recently described adhesin CS22. Fil: Pichel, Mariana. ANLIS Dr.C.G.Malbrán.
