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 ...

Detection of Escherichia coli adhesins with DNA probes [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1985
DNA hybridization assays for genes encoding the Escherichia coli adhesins K88 and K99 were developed. These assays were used to screen a variety of animal E. coli strains, and the results were compared with results obtained by serological methods. All methods compared well for determining the presence of adhesin K99.

Orally Fed Recombinant Lactococcus lactis Displaying Surface Anti-Fimbrial Nanobodies Protects Piglets against Escherichia coli Causing Post-Weaning Diarrhea

Agriculture, 2021
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) and edema disease (ED), caused by enterotoxigenic and Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (ETEC and STEC) strains, are important diseases of newly weaned piglets worldwide.

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.

Molecular Characterization of theEscherichia coliFimH Adhesin [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
Bacterial adherence mediated by fimbriae is an essential prerequisite for colonization of the urinary tract. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli express a number of different adhesive organelles, including P, type 1, S, and F1C fimbriae [1]. Type 1, or mannose-sensitive, fimbriae are produced by >80% of all uropathogenic E. coli.

A Polyvalent Adhesin–Toxoid Multiepitope-Fusion-Antigen-Induced Functional Antibodies against Five Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Adhesins (CS7, CS12, CS14, CS17, and CS21) but Not Enterotoxins (LT and STa)

Microorganisms, 2023
The increasing prevalence and association with moderate-to-severe diarrhea make enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) adhesins CS7, CS12, CS14, CS17, and CS21 potential targets of ETEC vaccines.

Adhesion of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli and Inhibition by Glycocompounds Engaged in the Mucosal Innate Immunity

Biology, 2013
Escherichia coli colonizes the human intestine shortly after birth, with most strains engaging in a commensal relationship. However, some E. coli strains have evolved toward acquiring genetic traits associated with virulence.

Interactions of pathogenic Escherichia coli with CEACAMs

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
The pathogenic Escherichia coli can be parsed into specific variants (pathovars) depending on their phenotypic behavior and/or expression of specific virulence factors.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli - an overview

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is an important cause of traveler's diarrhea and diarrheal illnesses in children in the developing world. In this presentation we will focus on the main virulence attributes of this pathogenic category of E.
