Chromosomal instability in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7: impact on adherence, tellurite resistance and colony phenotype
Tellurite (Tel) resistant enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a global pathogen. In strain EDL933 Tel resistance (Tel(R) ) is encoded by duplicate ter cluster in O islands (OI) 43 and 48, which also harbour iha, encoding the adhesin and siderophore receptor Iha. We identified five EHEC O157:H7 strains that differentiate into large (L) colonies and small (S) colonies with high ...
متن کاملTellurite susceptibility and non-plasmid-mediated resistance in Escherichia coli.
Tellurite (TeO3(2-)) is highly toxic toward Escherichia coli (MIC, approximately 1 microgram ml-1). Mutants (Tel) that were resistant to low levels of TeO3(2-) (MIC, approximately 10 micrograms ml-1) and collaterally resistant to arsenate were isolated. These Tel mutants were unable to grow on media containing low levels of Pi, which supported growth of the parent strain. When grown at much hig...
متن کاملTellurite-mediated thiol oxidation in Escherichia coli.
The oxyanion of tellurium, tellurite (TeO3(2-)), is toxic to most micro-organisms, particularly gram-negative bacteria. The mechanism of tellurite toxicity is presently unknown. Many heavy metals and oxyanions, including tellurite, interact with reduced thiols (RSH). To determine if tellurite interaction with RSH groups is involved in the toxicity mechanism, the RSH content of Escherichia coli ...

متن کاملGlutathione is a target in tellurite toxicity and is protected by tellurite resistance determinants in Escherichia coli.
Tellurite (TeO3(2-)) is highly toxic to most microorganisms. The mechanisms of toxicity or resistance are poorly understood. It has been shown that tellurite rapidly depletes the reduced thiol content within wild-type Escherichia coli. We have shown that the presence of plasmid-borne tellurite-resistance determinants protects against general thiol oxidation by tellurite. In the present study we...
