The Latin American region has been at the forefront in combating
infections caused by Escherichia coli strains in humans, animals,
and the environment. The continuous emergence and evolution of
pathogenic E. coli strains associated with human and animal
infections have demonstrated that (i) groups of related pathogenic
E. coli are responsible for most infections caused by this
bacterial species; (ii) diverse virulence phenotypes expressed
during infection defined each one of these pathogroups; (iii) the
geographical distribution of pathogroups in Latin America and the
evolution of new isolates was defined by the dominant pathogroup
and presence of distinct virulence strains; (iv) acquisition of
mobile elements or accumulation of point mutations accelerate the
development of antibiotic resistance in some of these
strains. The Latin American Coalition for Escherichia coli
Research (LACER), a multidisciplinary network of over seventy
research groups in eleven Latin American countries and the USA, was
established in 2009 to apply One Health principles in defining and
combating this pathogen. The previous edition of this text,
Escherichia coli in the Americas (c. 2016) was the culmination of
their wisdom about E. coli, from its role as a commensal bacterium
to its characteristics as a pathogen causing disease in animals and
humans. This new edition presents recent advances and
contextualizes all aspects of E. coli in a One Health perspective,
from the environment, to animals, to humans. It addresses E.
coli interactions with host microbiota, CNS, and phages. It
includes cutting edge insights on hybrid strains, molecular
mechanisms of virulence and pathogenesis, resistance, domestic and
wild reservoirs, disease surveillance in Latin America, genomic
analysis, food safety, and new therapies. Crucially, it also
provides translations and analysis of key reports on Escherichia
coli published in Spanish and Portuguese. This book serves as a
critical resource for scientists in industry and academia,
clinicians managing associated infections, and trainees and
students studying basic and clinical aspects of E. coli
pathogenesis.Â
