Aerobactin Synthesis Genes iucA and iucC Contribute to the Pathogenicity of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli O2 Strain E058
Aerobactin genes are known to be present in virulent strains and absent from avirulent strains, but contributions of iucC and iucA, which are involved in aerobactin synthesis, to the pathogenicity of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) have not been clarified. In this study, effects of double mutants (iucA/iutA or iucC/iutA) compared to those of single mutants (iucA, iucC or iutA) of aerob...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Frequency of the Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Genotypes Resistant to Multidrug using the iucA, iucB, iucC, and iucD Siderophore Genes
Introduction: Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in humans, and Escherichia coli is one of the most important factors. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the diversity of Europathogenic E. coli genotypes based on iucA, iucB, iucC, and iucD genes. Materials & Methods: In this study, plates containing a positive culture of urinary tract infection...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Escherichia coli Strain Isolates Causing Urinary Tract Infections in the presence of Pathogenic Aerobactin Genes
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Escherichia-coli is one of the major causes of urinary tract infection (UTI). The strains of this bacterium have a variety of virulence factors, such as iron acquisition systems, that provide the energy for iron transport in bacterial membranes. This study aimed to determine the frequency of pathogenic Aerobactin genes among the UTI-causing strains of E. coli isolated ...
متن کاملExtra intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli from human and avian origin: Detection of the most common virulence-encoding genes
Pathogenic Escherichia coli strains cause a wide range of extra intestinal infections including urinary tract infection in humans and colibacillosis in poultry. They are classified into uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) and avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) with genetic similarities and variations. Their pathogenicity is related to the virulence-encoding genes like sfa</...
متن کاملArcA Controls Metabolism, Chemotaxis, and Motility Contributing to the Pathogenicity of Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli.
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains cause one of the three most significant infectious diseases in the poultry industry and are also potential food-borne pathogens threating human health. In this study, we showed that ArcA (aerobic respiratory control), a global regulator important for E. coli's adaptation from anaerobic to aerobic conditions and control of that bacterium's enzymat...
