Escherichia coli O78 isolated from septicemic lambs shows high pathogenicity in a zebrafish model
The pathogenicity of Escherichia coli O78 strain K46, originally isolated from an outbreak of septicemia in neonatal lambs, was investigated in zebrafish embryo and murine models of infection. Its biofilm potential, cellulose production, and the expression of type 1 pili and curli fimbriae were measured by in vitro assays. The strain was highly pathogenic in the zebrafish embryo model of infect...
متن کاملCharacterization of high-level fluoroquinolone resistance in Escherichia coli O78:K80 isolated from turkeys.
Fluoroquinolone resistance was characterized in Escherichia coli O78:K80 isolated from diseased turkeys. The level of resistance to fluoroquinolones of the isolates appeared closely correlated with substitutions in GyrA and ParC, but not with the production of the AcrAB efflux pump. Among isolates highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (MIC 8 mg/L) and harbouring identical substitutions (two in GyrA...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of P fimbriae from an Escherichia coli strain isolated from a septicemic turkey.
A pap+ Escherichia coli isolate from a turkey with colisepticemia expressed P fimbriae with a major subunit of an apparent molecular mass of 18 kDa which reacted with anti-F11 serum. This fimbriae was purified and polyclonal antiserum was produced in rabbits. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the major fimbrial subunit of the avian P fimbriae was identical to that of F11. On immunoblotting,...
متن کاملHigh-pathogenicity island of Yersinia spp. in Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrhea patients in China.
The high-pathogenicity island (HPI) of Yersinia has been observed in 93% of 60 enteroadhesive Escherichia coli strains and 80% of E. coli strains isolated from blood samples. In the present study we investigated 671 fecal samples from patients with diarrhea in Shandong Province, China, and isolated HPI-harboring E. coli from 6. 26% of the samples. The isolation rates for patients with diarrhea ...
متن کاملDNA sequencing of a pathogenicity-related plasmid of an avian septicemic Escherichia coli strain.
A 43-MDa conjugative plasmid isolated from an avian septicemic Escherichia coli (APEC) strain possessing genes related to the adhesion and invasion capacities of in vitro-cultured cells was sequenced. The results demonstrated that the 43-MDa plasmid harbors bacterial pathogenicity-related sequences which probably allow the wild-type pathogenic strain to adhere to and invade tissues and to cause...
