We explored and evaluated for the first time colorimetric nitrocefin assay in conjunction with the double disc test and PCR assay. We suggested the use of nitrocefin assay for rapid screening of ESBL-production by Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.

Diarrheagenic Outbreak Reporting to Foodborne Disease Outbreaks Surveillance System - China, 2011-2022.
China CDC Wkly
December 2024
Division of Foodborne Disease Surveillance, China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, Beijing, China.
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.
Detection of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli in the abattoir wastewater-impacted Iyi-Etu River and other water types at the Amansea livestock market settlement, Anambra State, Nigeria: a matter of public health concern.

Department of Microbiology, Kogi State University, P.M.B. 1008 Anyigba, Nigeria.
Background: Globally, diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) has been implicated in the spread of waterborne diseases and abattoir wastewater has played a role in its dissemination into watersheds. This study isolated and characterised DEC from the abattoir wastewater-impacted Iyi-Etu River and other water sources at the Amansea livestock market settlement.
Methods: A total of 96 water samples comprising river water (upstream, downstream 1, downstream 2), borehole, well, sachet and abattoir wastewater samples were tested for DEC.

Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic Escherichia coli is a leading cause of diarrhea globally, and this study investigates how virulence genes and antibiotic resistance differ in hypertensive versus non-hypertensive patients.* -
- Researchers analyzed 518 fecal samples from patients in Douala, discovering that certain strains like enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) were more common in hypertensive individuals, while enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) predominated in non-hypertensives.* -
- The study found high resistance rates of E. coli to antibiotics, especially amoxicillin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, with a significant prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing strains (
Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Foodborne Pathogens from Raw Livestock Meat in China, 2021.

NHC Key Laboratory of Food Safety Risk Assessment, Chinese Academy of Medical Science Research Unit (2019RU014), China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, Beijing 100022, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assesses pathogenic bacteria prevalence in raw livestock meat (pork, beef, mutton) in China for 2021, with a focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to inform public health and food safety practices.
- - Out of 2,515 meat samples, contamination rates were highest in pork for certain pathogens, with specific prevalence noted in chilled and frozen meat compared to fresh.
- - The study found high overall resistance rates in bacteria isolated from meat, with ampicillin and tetracycline showing the most significant resistance among the tested antimicrobial agents.
