“…The results of previous studies have suggested relationships between human blood groups, bacterial pathogens, and infections. 23,24 But our results could not confirm a relationship between blood type and the ability of EcN to colonize. It can be speculated that these subjects might have high colonization resistance against EcN and that the amount of administered EcN was not high enough to compensate for this.…”

“…In studies of urinary tract infections caused by gram-negative organisms, persons with blood group B had more infections with K. pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp., and Proteus spp. than did those with blood group A (194). Susceptibility was related to the presence or absence of certain classes and types of isoagglutinins.…”

Contemporary issues: diseases with a food vector

Foodborne disease has become a contemporary issue. Several large, well-publicized outbreaks of foodborne disease have heightened public awareness that harmful microorganisms may be present in food and that chronic as well as acute disease may be caused by foodborne microbes. The field of food microbiology has likewise experienced a resurgence of interest. New tools, such as recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid technology and monoclonal antibody production, used to elucidate microbial virulence factors have facilitated identification of disease-causing microbes once thought to be harmless and demonstrated the complexity of individual virulence mechanisms previously considered to be well understood. Foodborne pathogens are also causing disease via some surprising food vectors, such as chopped, bottled garlic and sauteed onions. In addition to acute gastrointestinal disturbances, certain microorganisms may, through complex interactions with the human immune response, cause chronic diseases that affect several major organ systems. These microbes are serving as models in studies of molecular mimicry and genetic interrelatedness of procaryotes and eucaryotes. Other recently recognized attributes of foodborne microorganisms, such as the heat shock phenomenon and the possible nonculturability of some bacteria, may affect their ability to cause disease in humans. Because foodborne disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, the study of these diseases and their causative microorganisms presents a unique challenge to many professionals in the subdisciplines of microbiology, epidemiology, and clinical medicine.

“…Este ultimo hallazgo es en si llarnativo, pues dicho fenotipo ha sido relacionado con la probabilidad de recurrir en mujeres adultas 4 , pero al carecer de signification estadfstica -probablementc por falta de poder del estudio-no permite may ores espcculaciones. Pudiese ser que, en presencia de infeccion urinaria, la probabilidad de E. coli eslaria facilitada por combinaeiones fenoti'picas B-P1, probablemcnte independicntes y eventualmcntc aditivas, como ha sido descrito para otros marcadores 6 , pero no para estos fenotipos.…”
