Non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli-A poorly appreciated enteric pathogen: Systematic review
چکیده انگلیسی
Non-O157 strains of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are more common causes of acute diarrhea than the better-known O157 strains and have the potential for large outbreaks. This systematic review of the literature identified 129 serogroups as well as 262 different O and H antigen combinations of STEC in cases of epidemic and sporadic disease worldwide. Excluding the results from a single large outbreak of STEC O104:H4 in Germany and France in 2011, the reported frequency of dysenteric illness in patients was 26% (119 of 464) for epidemic disease and 25% (646 of 2588) for sporadic cases. Hemolytic uremic syndrome was identified in 14% of epidemic disease cases and 9% of sporadic illness cases. With the increasing use of PCR-based diagnostics, STEC strain identification may not be possible. Rapid diagnostics are needed for STEC infections to aid the clinician while allowing epidemiologists the opportunity to identify outbreaks and to trace the source of infection.
