Aggregative adherence fimbriae I of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli mediate adherence to HEp-2 cells and hemagglutination of human erythrocytes.
Strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) have been implicated in several studies as important agents of persistent diarrhea among infants in the developing world. We have previously shown that the aggregative adherence (AA) property of EAggEC is associated with the presence of a 60-MDa plasmid which confers AA when introduced into E. coli HB101. Here, we report the cloning of the ...
متن کاملAggregative adherence fimbria II, a second fimbrial antigen mediating aggregative adherence in enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) has been implicated as an agent of pediatric diarrhea in the developing world. We have shown previously that EAEC adheres to HEp-2 cells by virtue of a plasmid-encoded fimbrial adhesin designated aggregative adherence fimbria I (AAF/I), the genes for which have been cloned and sequenced. However, not all EAEC strains express AAF/I. Using TnphoA mutagene...
متن کاملTransfer of antimicrobial resistance plasmids from Klebsiella pneumoniae to Escherichia coli in the mouse intestine
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial pathogen and is considered the most common gram-negative bacterium that exhibits multiple antimicrobial resistances. In this study, the transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes from the clinical multiresistant K. pneumoniae MGH75875 isolate was assessed in vitro and in vivo in an intestinal colonization animal model. The ability to ...
متن کاملEmpyema due to Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Three cases of post-pneumonic empyema due to infection with Klebsiella pneuinoniae are reported. All were men considerably debilitated by complicating factors. The presence of persistent fistulae and of lung necrosis makes eradication of this infection very difficult and tedious, and in the management of these cases the objective is to secure adequate removal of necrotic tissue, effective drain...
