In Esteli, Las Segovias, Nicaragua, the frequency of isolations of enteropathogenic (EPEC), and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) was investigated in 100 children with (n = 50) and without diarrhoea (n = 50). EPEC was found to be significantly (p < 0.05) more frequent in diarrhoeal (16%) than in healthy children (4%). Detailed analyses revealed that 6 serotypes of E. coli were involved. Isolation of ETEC was not statistically significantly different (p > 0.05) in diarrhoeal (28%) and healthy children (16%). Determination of the susceptibility of isolated E. coli indicated a high level of resistance to common antimicrobial drugs. These resistant strains of E. coli might become a health problem in this part of Nicaragua.
在尼加拉瓜拉斯塞戈维亚斯的埃斯特利,对100名腹泻儿童(n = 50)和非腹泻儿童(n = 50)进行了调查,以研究肠道致病性大肠杆菌(EPEC)和产肠毒素大肠杆菌(ETEC)的分离频率。结果发现,腹泻儿童中EPEC的分离频率(16%)显著高于健康儿童(4%)(p < 0.05)。详细分析表明,涉及6种大肠杆菌血清型。腹泻儿童(28%)和健康儿童(16%)中ETEC的分离率在统计学上无显著差异(p > 0.05)。对分离出的大肠杆菌进行药敏测定表明,其对常用抗菌药物具有高度耐药性。这些耐药大肠杆菌菌株可能会在尼加拉瓜的这一地区引发健康问题。
