In situ hybridization to detect Escherichia coli in canine granulomatous colitis
Carmen R. Smith,

Abstract:Canine granulomatous colitis (histiocytic ulcerative colitis) is an uncommon disease, predominantly of young French Bulldogs and Boxer dogs, that manifests from a dysregulated immune response, primarily to adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC). In conjunction with histopathology and periodic acid–Schiff staining, the diagnosis of granulomatous colitis currently relies on fluorescence in situ hybridization (ISH) or immunohistochemistry to identify and localize AIEC organisms within macrophages in the mucosa… Show more
