Establishment of molybdeum cofactor detection system in Escherichia coli
In the current study, in order to verify the presence of bacterial Molybdenum cofactor, an indirect approach was made by showing the activity of BisC enzyme as a reporter gene. The activity of the BisC enzyme is dependent to Bis-MGD cofactor. BisC enzyme converts biotin sulfoxide to biotin under abiotic stress condition and it can also reduce TMANO and because of this property it was applied on...
متن کاملOccurrence of genes encoding enterotoxins in uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolates
To determine the presence of some toxins of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), 138 urinary tract infection (UTI)-causing UPECs were analyzed. The astA , set , sen and cdtB genes were detected in 13 (9.4%), 2 (1.3%), 13 (9.4%) and 0 (0%) of UPEC isolates respectively. The results show that some genes encoding toxins can be transferred from DEC pathotypes to UPE...
متن کاملEffect of Escherichia coli enterotoxins on macromolecular absorption.
Macromolecular absorption of gliadin, a wheat protein and alpha lactalbumin, a milk protein was evaluated in control and Escherichia coli enterotoxin (heat-stable, heat-labile, and both heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxin) treated mice. The peak concentration of gliadin and lactalbumin was two hours and three hours after their ingestion, respectively. There was also a significant increase (...
متن کاملPerformance of the ImmunoCard STAT! E. coli O157:H7 test for detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in stools.
ImmunoCard STAT! E. coli O157:H7 (Meridian Diagnostics, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio) is a novel rapid (10-min) test for the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in stools. The test may be performed either directly on stool specimens or on an overnight broth culture of stool. In a multicenter prospective study, 14 of 14 specimens positive by culture for E. coli O157:H7 were positive by the ImmunoCard...
متن کاملPreparation of procoligenoids from Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxins.
Heat-labile enterotoxins from Escherichia coli strains of porcine and human origin polymerize on heating to form high-molecular-weight aggregates, "procoligenoids," analogous to procholeragenoid derived from the cholera enterotoxin. This aggregation is accompanied by loss of biological activity (toxicity). Further heating results in the release of B-subunit oligomers, coligenoids, analogous to ...
