adhesiomeR: a tool for Escherichia coli adhesin classification and analysis [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Adhesins are crucial factors in the virulence of bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli. However, to date no resources have been dedicated to the detailed analysis of E. coli adhesins.

Identification of Coli Surface Antigen 23, a Novel Adhesin of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2012
ABSTRACT Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of diarrhea, mainly in developing countries. Although there are 25 different ETEC adhesins described in strains affecting humans, between 15% and 50% of the clinical isolates from different geographical regions are negative for these ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2005
In a recent, population-based survey of 3,996 persons in Indonesia, fluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant Escherichia coli was prevalent in the fecal flora of 6% of patients at hospital admission and 23% of patients at discharge, but not among healthy ...

Escherichia coli K1 RS218 Interacts with Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells via Type 1 Fimbria Bacteria in the Fimbriated State [PDF]

, 2005
Escherichia coli K1 is a major gram-negative organism causing neonatal meningitis. E. coli K1 binding to and invasion of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) are a prerequisite for E.

Fate of the H-NS-repressed bgl operon in evolution of Escherichia coli. [PDF]

, 2009
In the enterobacterial species Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, expression of horizontally acquired genes with a higher than average AT content is repressed by the nucleoid-associated protein H-NS.

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.
