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

MecVax, an Epitope- and Structure-Based Broadly Protective Subunit Vaccine Against Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) [PDF]
MicroorganismsNo vaccines are licensed against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), a leading diarrheal cause in children and travelers. ETEC adhesins and enterotoxins are the virulence determinants and become the primary targets in ETEC vaccine development ...

Emergence of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Harbouring the CS31A Virulence Factor in Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea in Central France [PDF]
AnimalsEscherichia coli is a significant cause of Neonatal Calf Diarrhoea (NCD). Its extensive antigenic diversity, coupled with the ability to acquire antimicrobial resistance determinants, hampers treatment effectiveness and compromises the control measures ...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Adhesins [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACT Adhesins are a group of proteins in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) that are involved in the attachment or colonization of this pathogen to abiotic (plastic or steel) and biological surfaces, such as those found in bovine and human intestines.

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 ...

Molecular cloning of the Escherichia coli O75X adhesin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1987 The uropathogenic strain Escherichia coli IH11128 (O75:K5:H-) exhibits a mannose-resistant O75X adhesin. The genes encoding the O75X adhesin were cloned from a clinical strain and transferred to E. coli K-12 derivatives. The recombinant plasmids were found to express a 15-kilodalton fimbrial subunit protein, a fimbrialike extracellular structure, and ...
