  2. 1. Studies on the Expression and Regulation of Enterotoxins and Colonization Factors in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)

    Author : Matilda Nicklasson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ETEC; heat-stable enterotoxin; heat-labile enterotoxin; colonization factors; CS5; CS6; virulence gene expression; in vivo and in vitro; genetic variability;

    Abstract : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the most common causes of acute watery diarrhoea in developing countries, particularly among local children less than five years and is also the most common cause of diarrhoea in travellers to ETEC endemic areas. The infection is transmitted by ingestion of contaminated food and water and the disease is established in the small intestine. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses

    Author : Tanvir Ahmed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Vibrio cholerae; ETEC; oral vaccine; CS6; CFA I; Lewis blood group; zinc; breast feeding; T cell; B cell;

    Abstract : Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses Abstract Vibrio cholerae O1 and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) together account for the majority of bacterial causes of acute dehydrating diarrhea in children in Bangladesh. Vaccines should be considered as an important public health tool for prevention of these diarrheal diseases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies of Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

    Author : Lena Jansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Carbohydrate recognition; ETEC colonization factors; CFA I fimbriae; CS6 protein; heat-labile enterotoxin;

    Abstract : Knowledge about the carbohydrate binding specificity of pathogens can give an increased understanding of their virulence strategies, and is also of importance for the development of anti-adhesive therapies and vaccines. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a well-known causative agent of diarrheal disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Structure and host-receptor recognition studies of Gram-negative bacterial fimbriae assembled via the chaperone/Usher Pathway

    Author : Saumendra Prasad Roy; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), and Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) are the principle etiological agents of acute and persistent diarrhea worldwide including resource-poor and industrialized regions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Virulence factors and clonal relatedness of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from children with diarrhoea in Bolivia

    Author : Claudia Rodas Miranda; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli; Virulence factors; Bolivia; Children; Severity of disease; Relatedness;

    Abstract : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the major causes of diarrhoea in children under five years of age in developing countries and in travellers to these settings. To cause disease, ETEC must be able to colonize the small intestine and produce heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) or heat-labile toxin (LT) or both toxins. READ MORE
