High carriage of adherent invasive E. coli in wildlife and healthy individuals
Résumé
BACKGROUND: Adherent invasive Escherichia coliE. coliE. coli
METHODS: The adhesion, invasion and intramacrophage replication capabilities (AIEC phenotype) of 61 intestinal E. coliE. coliE. coli
RESULTS: Out of 61 intestinal strains, 13 (21%) exhibit the AIEC phenotype, 7 are from human origin and 6 are from animal origin. Prevalence of AIEC strains is about 24 and 19% in healthy humans and animals respectively. These strains are highly genetically diverse as they are distributed among the main described phylogroups. Among E. coli
CONCLUSIONS: Our study described for the first time AIEC strains isolated from the feces of healthy humans and animals.
