Hemagglutination by purified type I Escherichia coli pili
Many enterobacteria can cause agglutination of erythrocytes, but previous investigations have not proven which components of the bacteria are responsible. We used a strain of Escherichia coli K12 which causes mannose-sensitive hemagglutination (HA) of guinea pig cells. Common pili were purified from these bacteria by shearing them from the bacteria followed by selective precipitation in acid an...
متن کاملThe role of mannose sensitive and mannose resistant pili of Escherichia coli in urinary tract infection
In order to study the relationship between hrmolysin / ashesins of Escherichia coli and occurrence of urinary tract infection ( UTI), the capacity of 570 isolated E.coli in agglutination of human or guinea pig erythrocytes and their lysis were tested. These isolates were obtained from the urine of patients with bacteriuria and from the stool of healthy people. Three patterns of hemagglutinat...
متن کاملRelationship between sex-pili formation and macarbomycin sensitivity in Escherichia coli.
The presence in Escherichia coli strains of derepressed sex factors determining F-type pili formation was found to increase their sensitivity to macarbomycin.
متن کاملStudies on sex pili: mutants of the sex factor F in Escherichia coli defective in bacteriophage-adsorbing function of F pili.
Ultraviolet irradiation or nitrosoguanidine treatment of Escherichia coli K-12 strain JE3100 (F'(8)/fla pil) led to the isolation of six mutants defective in F pili function. The defects were shown to be caused by mutations in the F factor. The mutants retained conjugal fertility, although they were less efficient than parental F'(8) strain, and continued to synthesize F pili. Three of the muta...
متن کاملUnusual arsenate poisoning of the F pili of Escherichia coli.
The arsenate poisoning of R17 phage eclipse in Escherichia coli cultures grown in glycerol-containing medium has been found to be mediated by a dramatic loss in cell-associated F pili. Poisoning was very rapid and was nearly complete within 3 min at 37 C. The loss of pili was reflected by a 90% reduction in the ability of these cells to attach ribonucleic acid phage and by a reduction in the pi...
