Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) bearing CFA/I or CFA/II adhesive factors specifically adhere onto the brush border of the polarized epithelial human intestinal Caco-2 cells in culture. Heat-killed Lactobacillus acidophilus strain LB, that adheres onto Caco-2 cells, inhibits diarrheagenic Escherichia coli adhesion in a concentration-dependent manner. Since the L. acidophilus does not express ETEC-CFA adhesive factors, it can be postulated that the heat-killed L. acidophilus LB cells inhibit diarrheagenic E. coli attachment by steric hindrance of the human enterocytic ETEC receptors.

Objective: Bacterial gastroenteritis is a significant public health concern, capable of causing severe infections. Among the various pathogens involved, those belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family are the most frequently isolated and associated with gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of common diarrheagenic Enterobacteriaceae in Iran over the past two decades, from 2000 to 2023.

is a pathogen that causes sporadic cases and outbreaks of diarrhea. The main virulence feature of this bacterium is the attaching and effacing (AE) lesion formation on infected intestinal epithelial cells, which is characterized by the formation of pedestal-like structures that are rich in F-actin. The Brazilian 1551-2 strain can recruit F-actin using both the Nck-dependent and the Nck-independent pathways, the latter of which uses an adaptor protein named Tir-cytoskeleton coupling protein (TccP/EspF).

What Is Already Known About This Topic?: Foodborne diarrheagenic (DEC) outbreaks constitute a significant global public health concern, yet comprehensive data on outbreak incidence and epidemiological characteristics in China remain limited.
What Is Added By This Report?: Between 2011 and 2022, there were 413 foodborne DEC outbreaks reported to foodborne disease outbreak surveillance system, resulting in 8,127 illnesses, 2,565 hospitalizations, and one fatality. Enteroaggregative (EAEC) emerged as the predominant causative pathogen (48.

Background: Many protective proteins, including lactoferrin and heavy chain antibodies, are present in camel colostrum, giving it a distinctive composition. Beyond a broad spectrum of pathogens, these proteins demonstrate antibacterial properties.
Aim: The current research assessed the prophylactic properties of camel colostrum against F17.
