Trimeric autotransporter adhesins driving chain-like adhesion diversify surface colonization strategies in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli [PDF]

Nature Communications
Bacteria frequently colonize host and environmental surfaces under fluid flow. Chain-like adherence pattern (CLAP) is an EibG-mediated surface colonization phenotype of certain Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) that lack the locus of ...

Small RNA Regulation of Virulence in Pathogenic Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Enteric and extraintestinal pathotypes of Escherichia coli utilize a wide range of virulence factors to colonize niches within the human body. During infection, virulence factors such as adhesins, secretions systems, or toxins require precise regulation ...

Expression and Functional Characterization of Various Chaperon-Usher Fimbriae, Curli Fimbriae, and Type 4 Pili of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a highly pathogenic strain leading to hemorrhagic colitis and to the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. The mechanisms by which pathogenic E.

Escherichia coli FimH adhesins act synergistically with PapGII adhesins for enhancing establishment and maintenance of kidney infection

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022
Background: FimH adhesin is proposed to enhance Escherichia coli kidney infection by acting with PapGII adhesin, but genetic epidemiology study and animal study have not been widely conducted to confirm this hypothesis.

Development and Comparison of a Panel of Modified CS17 Fimbrial Tip Adhesin Proteins as Components for an Adhesin-Based Vaccine against Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Microorganisms, 2021
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a leading cause of diarrhea in travelers and children in resource-limited countries. ETEC colonization factors, fimbrial tip adhesins and enterotoxins are key virulence factors, and thus have been studied as ...

E. coli Common pili promote the fitness and virulence of a hybrid aEPEC/ExPEC strain within diverse host environments

Gut Microbes, 2023
Pathogenic subsets of Escherichia coli include diarrheagenic (DEC) strains that cause disease within the gut and extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains that are linked with urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and other infections outside of

F9 fimbriae of uropathogenic Escherichia coli are expressed at low temperature and recognise Galβ1-3GlcNAc-containing glycans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTI) in the developed world. Among the major virulence factors of UPEC, surface expressed adhesins mediate attachment and tissue tropism.
