Characterization of type 1 and mannose-resistant fimbriae of Erwinia spp.
Type 1 fimbriae from Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and mannose-resistant fimbriae from Erwinia rhapontici were purified and characterized. The type 1 fimbrillin had an apparent molecular weight of 16,500; that of the mannose-resistant fimbrillin was 18,000. The amino-terminal amino acid sequences of the two fimbrillins were related, but tryptic peptide maps showed significant differences...
متن کاملDistinct Mutations Led to Inactivation of Type 1 Fimbriae Expression in Shigella spp.
Shigella spp. are responsible for bacillary dysentery in humans. The acquisition or the modification of the virulence plasmid encoding factors promoting entry of bacteria into and dissemination within epithelial cells was a critical step in the evolution of these bacteria from their Escherichia coli ancestor(s). Incorporation of genomic islands (GI) and gene inactivation also shaped interaction...
متن کاملacylase from Providencia rettgeri
Two isoforms of the heterodimeric enzyme penicillin G acylase (EC 3.5.1.1 I ) from Providencia rettgeri ATCC 31052 (strain Brol) were purified to near homogeneity. The isoforms exhibited comparable enzymatic a tivities but differed slightly in the molecular weight and PI of their respective a-subunit. The origin of this difference was traced to the partial conversion of the N-terminal Gln of th...
متن کاملO-serotyping Providencia alcalifaciens.
The O-serotyping scheme for Providencia was tested on Providencia alcalifaciens isolates collected mostly from two hospitals. The specificites of the somatic (O) antigens of P. alcalifaciens were found to be different from those of Providencia stuartii, and separation of the Providencia typing scheme to allow separate typing of each species led to more efficient typing. All but 4 of 86 isolates...
متن کاملEnterobacterial fimbriae.
Many different species of the family Enterobacteriaceae have been shown to possess fimbrial appendages which emerge from the bacterial cell as straight, rigid organelles distinct from flagella (14). The role of fimbriae (synonym: pili) as adhesins in both enterotoxigenic and uropathogenic isolates of Escherichia coli has been demnonstrated, and thus the identification of such appendages as viru...
