Type Three Secretion System in Attaching and Effacing Pathogens
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli are diarrheagenic bacterial human pathogens that cause severe gastroenteritis. These enteric pathotypes, together with the mouse pathogen Citrobacter rodentium, belong to the family of attaching and effacing pathogens that form a distinctive histological lesion in the intestinal epithelium. The virulence of these bacteria depends o...
متن کاملThe L-Arginine Transporter Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 2 Mediates the Immunopathogenesis of Attaching and Effacing Bacteria
Solute carrier family 7 member 2 (SLC7A2) is an inducible transporter of the semi-essential amino acid L-arginine (L-Arg), which has been implicated in immune responses to pathogens. We assessed the role of SLC7A2 in murine infection with Citrobacter rodentium, an attaching and effacing enteric pathogen that causes colitis. Induction of SLC7A2 was upregulated in colitis tissues, and localized p...
متن کاملRegulation of type III secretion hierarchy of translocators and effectors in attaching and effacing bacterial pathogens.
Human enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC), and the mouse pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (CR) belong to the family of attaching and effacing (A/E) bacterial pathogens. They possess the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island, which encodes a type III secretion system. These pathogens secrete a number of proteins into culture media, includi...
متن کاملTyping of intimin (eae) genes in attaching and effacing Escherichia coli strains from monkeys.
Attaching and effacing Escherichia coli (AEEC) strains cause histopathological alterations termed “attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions” (8). The ability to cause A/E lesions is encoded on a large bacterial chromosomal pathogenicity island, the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). The central portion of LEE encodes intimin (Eae, 94to 97-kDa outer membrane protein) and Tir, the intimin receptor...
متن کاملExperimental infection of young chicks with attaching and effacing Escherichia coli.
Young chicks were inoculated with six different strains of attaching and effacing Escherichia coli isolated from the feces of calves, pigs, chicks, and humans. Colibacilli of some serotypes had colonized the cecum of chicks by 7 days after inoculation. The characteristic lesions associated with bacterial attachment were also seen on the mucosal surface of the cecum. Electron microscopy revealed...
