Abstrakt: Background: About thirty thousand people globally die every day from infectious diarrhea, mostly caused by pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7. Methods: In order to search for clinical diagnostic biomarkers and novel drug targets for infectious diarrhea, we used a bibliometric method to collect pathogenic genes of E. coli O157:H7 and performed a functional analysis of the important pathogenic genes by pathway enrichment and operon analysis. Results: We found 364 pathogenic genes which may be involved in infection with E. coli O157:H7 including 50 new specific pathogenic genes. It is possible that these newly found pathogenic genes will be of great importance in the treatment of E. coli O157:H7 infected diseases and the discovery of novel diagnostic biomarkers. Conclusions: Our findings also lay a theoretical foundation for the control, diagnosis, and prognosis of pathogenic E. coli related diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
