Lactoferrin. A natural glycoprotein involved in iron and inflammatory homeostasis [PDF]

, 2017
Human lactoferrin (hLf), an iron-binding multifunctional cationic glycoprotein secreted by exocrine glands and by neutrophils, is a key element of host defenses.

Epithelial cell signaling responses to enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infection

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, including the serotype O157:H7 that is most commonly identified with human disease, cause both sporadic cases and outbreaks of non-bloody diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis.

Assessing the diversity of the virulence potential of Escherichia coli isolated from bacteremia in São Paulo, Brazil [PDF]

, 2013
Most of the knowledge of the virulence determinants of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) comes from studies with human strains causing urinary tract infections and neonatal meningitis and animal strains causing avian colibacillosis.

Regulation and binding properties of S fimbriae cloned from E. coli strains causing urinary tract infection and meningitis [PDF]

, 1993
S fimbriae are able to recognize receptor molecules containing sialic acid and are produced by pathogenic E. coli strains causing urinary tract infection and menigitis.

Parenteral vaccination with recombinant EtpA glycoprotein impairs enterotoxigenic E. coli colonization

Infection and Immunity
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) causes hundreds of millions of cases of acute diarrheal illness in low- and middle-income regions, disproportionately in young children.

Zoonotic Escherichia coli infections: Pathogenic variants, mechanism of disease, transmission routes, and foodborne outbreaks

Letters in Animal Biology
Escherichia coli is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium with diverse pathogenic strains. Most strains of E. coli are motile and capable of causing infections in humans, small and large ruminants, and birds. The zoonotic E.

Antibiotic residues and R-plasmid selection: are in vitro methods good models? [PDF]

, 1987
Three clones of E. coli, one of which was harbouring a tetracycline resistance plasmid were inoculated together into the stomach of axenic mice. Without antibiotic selective pressure, the R-Plasmid bearing strain became dominant in the faeces of mice ...

Comparative Genomics of Three Hybrid-Pathogen Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Healthy Donors’ Feces

Microbiology Research
The present study shows the genomic characterization of three pathogenic Escherichia coli hybrid strains. All strains were previously characterized as diarrheagenic pathotypes (DEC), obtained from feces. The three sequenced strains have genes that encode

Heterobinary adhesins based on the Escherichia coli FimH fimbrial protein [PDF]

, 1998
The FimH adhesin of Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae confers the ability to bind to D-mannosides by virtue of a receptor-binding domain located in its N-terminal region.
