Adhesins of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

EcoSal Plus, 2005
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) was first recognized as a cause of human disease in 1983 and is associated with diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis, which may be complicated by life-threatening renal and neurological sequelae.

Tissue interactions of Escherichia coli adhesins

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1988
The E. coli adhesions show a remarkable tissue tropism in the human urinary tract. This obviously relates to the known compartmentation of glycoconjugates in the kidney. To function as a virulence factor in human urinary tract infections, an adhesin must evidently recognize such receptors at uroepithelia that are not excreted in soluble form in urine ...

Fimbrial adhesins from extraintestinal Escherichia coli

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2010
Summary Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) represent an important subclass of E. coli that cause a wide spectrum of diseases in human and animal hosts. Fimbriae are key virulence factors of ExPEC strains.

The Fimbrial Adhesins of Escherichia Coli

1987
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the current knowledge of E. coli adhesions and their receptors. The main emphasis is given on the genetic and physiological aspects of adhesin production, the primary structure of adhesion subunits, their adhesive properties, and the characterization of adhesion receptors.

Adhesins of Escherichia coli

Acta Biotechnologica, 1990
AbstractE. coli has got increasing importance as a causative agent of intestinal and extra‐intestinal diseases. In both these infections adhesion of the bacteria to mucous surface cells are initial events for coionization and development of infection. Adhesins are bacterial recognition proteins which specifically interact with carbohydrate moieties of ...

Adhesins of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli

EcoSal Plus, 2006
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains induce morphological changes in infected epithelial cells. The resulting attaching and effacing (A/E) lesion is characterized by intimate bacterial adherence to epithelial cells, with microvillus destruction, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and aggregation of host ...

Adhesins of Diffusely Adherent and Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli

EcoSal Plus, 2005
Epidemiological studies have implicated enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) strains in acute and persistent diarrhea in children, in food-borne diarrhea outbreaks, and in traveler's diarrhea, and this group is recognized as an emerging pathotype of enteric disease. Diffusely adherent E. coli

Genes Determining Adhesin Formation in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

1985
The ability to adhere to the site of infection is considered to be a prerequisite for most bacterial infections. For a number of gram-negative species there is evidence that filamentous surface structures on the bacteria, called pili or fimbriae, are the adhesins that bind to epithelial cells of the host.

Nonfimbrial Adhesins of Escherichia Coli

1996
Pathogenic Escherichia coli exhibit a variety of adhesins classified according to their morphology, antigenic structure or receptor specificity.
