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.

Prevalence and genetic characterization of shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolates from slaughtered animals in Bangladesh [PDF]

, 2008
To determine the prevalence of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in slaughter animals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we collected rectal contents immediately after animals were slaughtered.

Preferential attachment of Escherichia coli to different particle size fractions of an agricultural grassland soil. [PDF]

, 2007
This study reports on the attachment preference of a faecally derived bacterium, Escherichia coli, to soil particles of defined size fractions. In a batch sorption experiment using a clay loam soil it was found that 35% of introduced E.

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.

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.

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.

SbcCD regulation and localization in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2007
The SbcCD complex and its homologues play important roles in DNA repair and in the maintenance of genome stability. In Escherichia coli, the in vitro functions of SbcCD have been well characterized, but its exact cellular role remains elusive.

Lectin-Glycan Interaction Network-Based Identification of Host Receptors of Microbial Pathogenic Adhesins

mBio, 2016
The first step in the infection of humans by microbial pathogens is their adherence to host tissue cells, which is frequently based on the binding of carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectin-like adhesins) to human cell receptors that expose glycans.

Epistatic interactions between the high pathogenicity island and other iron uptake systems shape Escherichia coli extra-intestinal virulence

Nature Communications, 2023
The intrinsic virulence of extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli is associated with numerous chromosomal and/or plasmid-borne genes, encoding diverse functions such as adhesins, toxins, and iron capture systems.
