• Genetic features of human and bovine Escherichia coli O157: H7 strains isolated in Argentina 

      Masana, Marcelo Oscar; Pianciola, Luis; D’Astek, Beatriz A.; Mazzeo, Melina Leonor; Chinen, Isabel; Rivas, Marta (2016-02-15)
      Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important food-borne pathogens associated with human diseases. In Argentina, O157:H7 is the dominant serotype in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) cases. Previously, we have ...
    • Subtyping of Escherichia coli O157:H7 Strains Isolated from Human Infections and Healthy Cattle in Argentina 

      Del Castillo, Lourdes; D’Astek, Beatriz A.; Miliwebsky, Elizabeth; Carbonari, Claudia Carolina; Palladino, Pablo Martin; Deza, Natalia; Chinen, Isabel; Manfredi, Eduardo; Leotta, Gerardo A.; Masana, Marcelo Oscar; Rivas, Marta (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2012-05-02)
      Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) cause nonbloody (NBD) and bloody diarrhea (BD), and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Cattle have been described as their main reservoir. STEC O157:H7 is recognized as the ...
    • Whole-Genome Sequencing Applied to the Molecular Epidemiology of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Argentina 

      Masana, Marcelo Oscar; Carbonari, Claudia Carolina; Fittipaldi, Nahuel; Teatero, Sarah; Athey, Taryn B.T.; Pianciola, Luis; Melano, Roberto G.; Rivas, Marta; Chinen, Isabel (American Society for Microbiology, 2016-10-07)
      Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains are worldwide associated with sporadic human infections and outbreaks. In this work, we report the availability of high-quality draft whole-genome sequences for 19 O157:H7 ...
