UPEC Hemolysin: More than Just for Making Holes [PDF]
During acute cystitis, uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) induce bladder epithelial cell exfoliation, which eliminates infected cells and promotes UPEC dissemination. Dhakal and Mulvey (2012) uncover the mechanism that induces this exfoliation and reintroduce the pore-forming toxin, hemolysin, as an effector that surprisingly targets multiple host ...

Recovery of UPEC persistency after complementation on ΔhlyD UPEC strain. [PDF]
ΔhlyD UPEC strain was transformed with phlyD plasmid to generate ΔhlyD(phlyD) strain. (A) Human 5637 BECs were co-infected with equal numbers of the ΔhlyD and ΔhlyD(phlyD) strains, and intracellular UPEC numbers were examined at indicated time points. (B)

HlyA-mediated microtubule disruption causes UPEC persistence. [PDF]
A. HlyA disrupts the microtubule cytoskeletal structure. Human 5637 BECs were infected with WT or ΔhlyD UPEC CFT073 strain for 8 h and then stained with anti-tubulin (red), anti-UPEC (green) antibodies, and phalloidin (blue).
