Expression of Colonization Factor CS5 of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) Is Enhanced In Vivo and by the Bile Component Na Glycocholate Hydrate
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of acute watery diarrhoea in developing countries. Colonization factors (CFs) on the bacterial surface mediate adhesion to the small intestinal epithelium. Two of the most common CFs worldwide are coli surface antigens 5 and 6 (CS5, CS6). In this study we investigated the expression of CS5 and CS6 in vivo, and the effects of bile and...
متن کاملEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in farm animals.
Animal diseases due to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) typically appear as severe watery diarrhoea during the first few days of life (also a few days after weaning in pigs). ETEC adhere to the small intestinal microvilli without inducing morphological lesions and produce enterotoxins acting locally on enterocytes. This action results in the hypersecretion (of water and electrolytes) and...
متن کاملColonization factor antigen CFA/IV (PCF8775) of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: nucleotide sequence of the CS5 determinant.
Human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates expressing the colonization factor antigen CFA/IV (previously designated PCF8775) produce plasmid-encoded CS5 fimbriae. The nucleotide sequence of the region encoding the major CS5 fimbrial subunit was determined. The subunit is synthesized as a precursor of 203 amino acids (20.85 kDa) with a mature protein of 181 amino acids corresponding to a si...
متن کاملEffect of bacteriophage in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infected pigs.
We evaluated effect of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) specific lytic phage CJ12 in ETEC infected pigs. Phage was mixed with feed at a ratio of 1:1,000 (0.1%). One week after initially providing phage mixed feed, pigs were challenged orally with 10(11) CFU of ETEC and body weight, diarrhea score, bacterial CFU and phage PFU in the feces were measured. Pigs of phage treated groups C (10(...
متن کاملExpression of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli colonization factors in Vibrio cholerae.
As a first step towards a vaccine against diarrhoeal disease caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), we have studied the expression of several ETEC antigens in the live attenuated Vibrio cholerae vaccine strain CVD 103-HgR. Colonization factors (CF) CFA/I, CS3, and CS6 were expressed at the surface of V. cholerae CVD 103-HgR. Both CFA/I and CS3 required the co-expression of a positiv...
