Screening for Inhibitors of Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase (AdhE) from Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) [PDF]
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (AdhE) is a bifunctional acetaldehyde-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase involved in anaerobic metabolism in gram-negative bacteria. This enzyme was recently found to be a key regulator of the type three secretion (T3S) system in Escherichia coli.

Extensive genomic diversity and selective conservation of virulence determinants in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains of O157 and non O157 serotypes [PDF]
Background: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 causes severe food-borne illness in humans. The chromosome of O157 consists of 4.1 Mb backbone sequences shared by benign E.

A Robust One-Step Recombineering System for Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) can cause severe diarrheic in humans. To improve therapy options, a better understanding of EHEC pathogenicity is essential. The genetic manipulation of EHEC with classical one-step methods, such as the transient

Repetitive N-WASP–binding elements of the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Effector EspFU Synergistically Activate Actin Assembly [PDF]
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) generate F-actin–rich adhesion pedestals by delivering effector proteins into mammalian cells. These effectors include the translocated receptor Tir, along with EspFU, a protein that associates indirectly with ...

Analysis of Collection of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome–associated Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
Multilocus sequence typing of 169 non-O157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) isolated from patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) demonstrated 29 different sequence types (STs); 78.1% of these strains clustered in 5 STs.

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

Sequence Variability of P2-Like Prophage Genomes Carrying the Cytolethal Distending Toxin V Operon in Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDT) are potent cytotoxins of several Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, in which five types (CDT-I to CDT-V) have been identified so far.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) can colonize the gastrointestinal tract and cause bloody diarrhea in children. Previous studies showed that its pathogenesis could be mediated by metabolites from both the host and microbiota.

Generation of gene deletions and gene replacements in Escherichia coli O157:H7 using a temperature sensitive allelic exchange system [PDF]
In this work we describe protocols for the generation of gene deletions and gene replacements using a temperature sensitive plasmid in Escherichia coli O157:H7.
