Binding of collagens to an enterotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli [PDF]
An enterotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli, B34289c, has been shown to bind the N-terminal region of fibronectin with high affinity (G. Fröman, L. M. Switalski, A. Faris, T. Wadström, and M. Höök, J. Biol. Chem. 259:14899-14905, 1984). We now report that this strain also binds collagen.

Attaching and effacing Escherichia coli downregulate DNA mismatch repair protein in vitro and are associated with colorectal adenocarcinomas in humans [PDF]
Background: Mucosa-associated Escherichia coli are frequently found in the colonic mucosa of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma, but rarely in healthy controls. Chronic mucosal E. coli infection has therefore been linked to colonic tumourigenesis. E.

Gastrointestinal Microbiome Dysbiosis in Cancer Development: Mechanisms and Biomarker Potential
Dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal microbiome plays a role in carcinogenesis by inducing chronic inflammation, DNA damage, and activation of signaling pathways such as NF‐κB, STAT3, and Wnt/β‐catenin. Microorganisms such as Helicobacter pylori, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Bacteroides fragilis promote the development of gastrointestinal tumors through ...

Quantitative method for enumeration of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
A rapid method was developed to quantify toxigenic Escherichia coli, using a membrane filter procedure. After filtration of samples, the membrane filter was first incubated on a medium selective for E. coli (24 h, 44 degrees C) and then transferred to tryptic soy agar (3%; 6 h, 37 degrees C). To assay for labile toxin-producing colonies, the filter was

Reducing the protein content in diets for weaner pigs to control post-weaning diarrhoea: physiological and metabolic responses of the gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
A series of experiments was conducted with weaner pigs to examine the effects of dietary protein content, duration of feeding diets after weaning and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection on physiological and metabolic responses of the ...

Organoids: Current Applications and Future Directions
Organoids are three‐dimensional multicellular structures derived from stem cells or primary tissues that recapitulate key structural and functional features of native organs. Advances in stem cell biology, biomaterials, and bioengineering have established organoids as powerful platforms for studying human development and disease mechanisms, drug ...
