Title: | Type IV longus pilus of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: occurrence and association with toxin types and colonization factors among strains isolated in Argentina | Authors: | Pichel, Mariana Binsztein, Norma Qadri, Firdausi Girón, Jorge A. |
Keywords: | Escherichia coli;Infecciones por Escherichia coli;Proteínas de Escherichia coli;Proteínas Fimbrias;Serotipificación;Toxinas Bacterianas;Argentina | Issue Date: | Feb-2002 | Publisher: | American Society for Microbiology | Journal: | Journal of clinical microbiology | Abstract: | The longus type IV pilus structural gene (lngA) was sought among 217 clinical enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains isolated in Argentina. lngA was present in 20.7% of the isolates and was highly associated with ETEC producing heat-stable toxin and the most common colonization factors. The prevalence of longus among ETEC strains in Argentina was comparable to that of colonization factor antigen I (CFA/I), CFA/II, and CFA/IV in other regions of the world. |
