Prevalence of shiga toxins (stx1, stx2), eaeA and hly genes of Escherichia coli O157:H7 strains among children with acute gastroenteritis in southern of Iran.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To survey the prevalence severe diarrhea arising from these bacteria in children under 5 years old in Marvdasht. METHODS:In this study faecal sample from 615 children aged <5 years old who were hospitalized for gastroenteritis in Fars hospitals in Iran were collected and then enriched in Escherichia coli (E. coli) broth and modified tryptone soy broth with novobiocin media. Fermentation of sorbitol, lactose and β -glucoronidase activity of isolated strains was examined by CT-SMAC, VRBA and chromogenic media respectively. Then isolation of E. coli O157:H7 have been confirmed with the use of specific antisera and with multiplex PCR method presence of virulence genes including: stx1, stx2, eaeA, hly has been analyzed. RESULTS:E. coli O157:H7 was detected in 7 (1.14%) stool specimens. A significant difference was seen between detection rate of isolated bacteria from age groups 18-23 months and other age groups (P=0.004). Out of considered virulence genes, only 1 of the isolated strains (0.16%) the stx1 and eaeA genes were seen and also all isolated bacteria had resistance to penicillin, ampicillin and erythromycin antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS:We found that children < 2 years of age were at highest risk of infection with E. coli O157:H7. Regarding severity of E. coli O157:H7 pathogenesis, low infectious dose and lack of routine assay for detection of these bacteria in clinical laboratory, further and completed studies on diagnosis and genotyping of this E. coli O157:H7 strain has been recommended.
