We investigated the clonal relationships among 63 Escherichia coli strains of antigen serogroup O78 isolated from infections in humans, cattle, sheep, pigs, and chickens. Both septicemic and enterotoxigenic isolates were included in the study. A main group of 55 E. coli strains consisting of 52 septicemic isolates and 3 human enterotoxigenic E. coli isolates were clustered in related clones. The remaining eight strains, four human and four animal isolates, were clonally heterogeneous. The main group of 55 clonally related strains included isolates from human and animal infections. This result indicates that animals are a possible source of serogroup O78 septicemic E. coli infections in humans.

D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
