Escherichia coli Pathobionts Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 2019
Gut bacteria play a key role in initiating and maintaining the inflammatory process in the gut tissues of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, by supplying antigens or other stimulatory factors that trigger immune cell activation.

The Intriguing Evolutionary Journey of Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) toward Pathogenicity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Among the intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) are a group of intracellular pathogens able to enter epithelial cells of colon, multiplicate within them, and move between adjacent cells with a mechanism similar to Shigella,

What is the 'minimum inhibitory concentration' (MIC) of pexiganan acting on Escherichia coli? - A cautionary case study [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysics of Infection. Volume 915 of the series Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. Springer pp 33-48 (2016), 2016
We measured the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the antimicrobial peptide pexiganan acting on Escherichia coli, and report an intrinsic variability in such measurements. These results led to a detailed study of the effect of pexiganan on the growth curve of E. coli, using a plate reader and manual plating (i.e. time-kill curves). The measured

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

New tools for recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli: A 5‐year update

open access: yesProtein Science, 2019
The production of proteins in sufficient amounts is key for their study or use as biotherapeutic agents. Escherichia coli is the host of choice for recombinant protein production given its fast growth, easy manipulation, and cost‐effectiveness.

Virulence plasmids in edema disease: Insights from whole-genome analysis of porcine O139:H1 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
This study investigates the plasmid sequences of porcine O139:H1 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) responsible for Edema Disease (ED). Whole-genome analysis reveals significant similarities between these strains and known plasmids, notably ...

Transient drift of Escherichia coli under diffusing Step nutrient profile [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. E 98, 052413 (2018), 2018
Bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) exhibit biased motion if kept in a spatially non-uniform chemical environment. Here, we bring out unique time-dependent characteristics of bacterial chemotaxis, in response to a diffusing spatial step ligand profile.

Genome Sequence of AvianEscherichia coliStrain IHIT25637, an Extraintestinal PathogenicE. coliStrain of ST131 Encoding Colistin Resistance Determinant MCR-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sequence type 131 (ST131) is one of the predominant Escherichia coli lineages among extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) that causes a variety of diseases in humans and animals and frequently shows multidrug resistance.

Chemotaxis in Escherichia coli

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 1965
Motile bacteria are attracted to a variety of chemicals — a phenomenon called chemotaxis (for a review, see Weibull, 1960). Although chemotaxis by bacteria has been recognized since the end of the nineteenth century, thanks to the pioneering work of Engelmann, Pfeffer, and other biologists, the mechanisms involved are still almost entirely unknown.
