Expression of an iron-regulated hemolysin by Edwardsiella tarda.
The ability of Edwardsiella tarda to hemolyse red blood cells was investigated. Most E. tarda strains (> 80%) produced a hemolysin when assayed by either an agar overlay or contact-dependent hemolysis technique. This activity was cell-associated (CAH) and not released into the culture supernatant under routine conditions. When quantified, E. tarda strains significantly produced 30-40-fold highe...
متن کاملIsolation of Edwardsiella tarda from swine.
Edwardsiella tarda was isolated from the intestinal tract of a 2-month-old pig. This is the first reported isolation of Edwardsiella tarda from swine in the United States. Swine have been reported as potential carriers of Edwardsiella tarda, but pathogenicity of this organism for swine has not been determined. Although the pig had access to several farm ponds, the exact source of infection was ...
متن کاملNatural colistin resistance in Edwardsiella tarda.
All of 37 recent human isolates of Edwardsiella tarda were resistant to colistin. All strains were resistant to 6.3 mug of sodium colistimethate per ml; 82% of them were resistant to 100 mug/ml. With 34 Salmonella strains, the average minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 1.6 mug of sodium colistimethate per ml. There was virtually no overlapping of MIC values between both groups of bacter...
متن کاملEdwardsiella tarda bacteremia with metastatic gastric cancer
Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) is a rare human pathogen; however, the overall mortality of bacteremia is reported to be up to 50%. Here, we describe a case of cholangitis with E. tarda bacteremia who had a pancreatoduodenectomy for a locally advanced gastric cancer. He was successfully treated using a cefmetazole, a second generation cephalosporin for 14 days. To the best of our knowledge, this ...
متن کاملComparative proteomic analysis of extracellular proteins of Edwardsiella tarda.
A comparison of extracellular proteins of virulent and avirulent Edwardsiella tarda strains revealed several major, virulent-strain-specific proteins. Proteomic analysis identified two of the proteins in the virulent strain PPD130/91 as flagellin and SseB, which are virulence factors in bacterial pathogens. PCR amplification and DNA sequencing confirmed the presence of the genes that encode the...
