Article Synopsis
- Shigatoxic E. coli (STEC) from dairy animals in Kolkata carried virulence genes but showed no clinical symptoms, similar to variances in human isolates from the same area.
- The study used PCR and fluorescent actin staining to identify the presence and functionality of the eae gene related to pathogenicity among these STEC isolates.
- Results indicated that most human STEC samples lacked the eae gene and key genes for pathogenesis, explaining the low incidence of clinical cases, while cattle isolates had some eae genes that were not expressed phenotypically.
