Vidal, Maricel; Escobar Oliva, Paula; Prado Jiménez, Valeria; Hormazábal, Juan Carlos; Vidal Álvarez, Roberto (2007)The distribution of three putative adhesin genes in 123 Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) strains was determined by PCR. The STEC strains were isolated from human patients (n = 90) and food (n = 33) and were characterized by ...

Vidal, Maricel; Kruger, Eileen; Durán, Claudia; Lagos, Rosanna; Levine, Myron; Prado Jiménez, Valeria; Toro, Cecilia; Vidal Álvarez, Roberto (AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY, 2005-10)We designed a multiplex PCR for the detection of all categories of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli. This method proved to be specific and rapid in detecting virulence genes from Shiga toxin-producing (stx(1), stx(2), and ...

Vidal, Maricel; Prado Jiménez, Valeria; Whitlock, Gregory C.; Solari Illescas, Aldo; Torres, Alfredo G.; Vidal Álvarez, Roberto (SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 2008-12)Adherence to epithelial cells by specific adhesins is a characteristic of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains. The eae-encoded protein intimin is the main adhesin implicated in intestinal colonization in ...
