Influence of adhesins on the interaction of Escherichia coli with human phagocytes [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1984
The fitness between bacterial adhesins and target cell receptors, determining bacterial adherence to epithelial cells in urinary tract infections, was shown to influence also the interaction with human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). Two sets of homogenic strains, constructed to express either, both, or none of the globotetraosylceramide-sensitive

Pathogenic Potential to Humans of Bovine Escherichia coli O26, Scotland [PDF]

, 2012
Escherichia coli O26 and O157 have similar overall prevalences in cattle in Scotland, but in humans, Shiga toxin–producing E. coli O26 infections are fewer and clinically less severe than E. coli O157 infections.

Detection of cytotoxic necrotizing factor types 1 and 2 among fecal Escherichia coli isolates from brazilian children with and without diarrhea

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
The enteropathogenic role of cytotoxic necrotizing factor (CNF)-producing Escherichia coli was investigated by searching cnf genes among 2074 isolates from 200 children with and 200 without acute diarrhea in Brazil.

Adhesins as Targets for Vaccine Development

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
Blocking the primary stages of infection, namely bacterial attachment to host cell receptors and colonization of the mucosal surface, may be the most effective strategy to prevent bacterial infections. Bacterial attachment usually involves an interaction

Differential Afa/Dr Fimbriae Expression in the Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli ST131 Clone

mBio, 2022
Many antibiotic resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains belong to clones defined by their multilocus sequence type (ST), with ST131 being the most dominant.

Characterization of the Adhesin of Escherichia coli F18 Fimbriae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2001
ABSTRACT Previous research has suggested that the adhesin encoded by the F18 fimbrial operon in Escherichia coli is either the FedE or FedF protein. In this work, we show that anti-FedF antibodies, unlike anti-FedE serum, were able to inhibit E. coli adhesion to porcine enterocytes.

Dynamic distribution of SeqA protein across the chromosome of Escherichia coli K-12 [PDF]

, 2010
The bacterial SeqA protein binds to hemi-methylated GATC sequences that arise in newly synthesized DNA upon passage of the replication machinery. In Escherichia coli K-12, the single replication origin oriC is a well-characterized target for SeqA, which ...

Autotransporter Adhesins in Escherichia coli Pathogenesis

PROTEOMICS, 2017
AbstractMost bacteria produce adhesion molecules to facilitate the interaction with host cells and establish successful infections. An important group of bacterial adhesins belong to the autotransporter (AT) superfamily, the largest group of secreted and outer membrane proteins in Gram‐negative bacteria.

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 ...
