Abstract
Microarray analysis of Escherichia Coli isolates from canine and feline urinary tract infections indicate the potential for zoonotic and anthropozoonotic transmission
Highlights
Escherichia coli strains exist within the host organism as either commensal flora, where they account for the majority of nonpathogenic enteric flora, or pathogenic organisms, that have been shown to cause either intestinal or extraintestinal infections
Twelve isolates were characterized as Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) (20%), 14 as UPEC (23%), and 2 as MNEC (3%)
7 were “non-classifiable” (12%), and 25 had no pathotype association (42%) which means that E. coli strains that did not have significant pathogenic potential were isolated significantly more often than strains that were associated with a specific pathotype
Summary
Escherichia coli strains exist within the host organism as either commensal flora, where they account for the majority of nonpathogenic enteric flora, or pathogenic organisms, that have been shown to cause either intestinal or extraintestinal infections. 3, 2016 M a y eJ u n e 2 0 1 6 : 5 7 5 – 5 8 4 of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC) sought to develop a sustainable mission that could improve educational and clinical value to both the local community and academic institution. Process/Procedure: The Department of Emergency Medicine at UTMC has partnered with Salud Total, a small health clinic in La Ceiba, Honduras. The clinical volume swells to over 100 patients a day.
