| diet and environment shape fecal bacterial microbiota composition and enteric pathogen load of grizzly bears. | diet and environment impact the composition of mammalian intestinal microbiota; dietary or health disturbances trigger alterations in intestinal microbiota composition and render the host susceptible to enteric pathogens. to date no long term monitoring data exist on the fecal microbiota and pathogen load of carnivores either in natural environments or in captivity. this study investigates fecal microbiota composition and the presence of pathogenic escherichia coli and toxigenic clostridia in wi ... | 2011 | 22194798 |
| escherichia coli isolated from feces of brown bears (ursus arctos) have a lower prevalence of human extraintestinal pathogenic e. coli virulence-associated genes. | eighty-six escherichia coli strains from feces of either wild brown bears or those living in a zoo were screened for phylogenetic groups using the revisited clermont phylotyping method and the prevalence of 24 virulence-associated genes (vags) of extraintestinal pathogenic e. coli (expec). our results showed that most strains of e. coli in bears belonged to phylogenetic groups iii/iv/v (29%) and b1 (26%). only half of the tested vags were found in the e. coli bear strains, with fimh present in 7 ... | 2017 | 28154465 |
