Estimation of growth rates of Escherichia coli BJ4 in streptomycin-treated and previously germfree mice by in situ rRNA hybridization.
The growth physiology of Escherichia coli during colonization of the intestinal tract was studied with four animal models: the streptomycin-treated mouse carrying a reduced microflora, the monoassociated mouse with no other microflora than the introduced strain, the conventionalized streptomycin-treated mouse, and the conventionalized monoassociated mouse harboring a full microflora. A 23S rRNA...
متن کاملrpoS gene function is a disadvantage for Escherichia coli BJ4 during competitive colonization of the mouse large intestine.
The ability of Escherichia coli to survive stress during growth in different environments is, in large part, dependent on rpoS and the genes that comprise the rpoS regulon. E. coli BJ4 and an isogenic BJ4 rpoS mutant were used to examine the influence of the rpoS gene on E. coli colonization of the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine. Colonization experiments in which the wild-type E. co...
متن کاملHyperimmune lipopolysaccharide antiserum mediated inhibition of the adherence of E. coli O157:H7 to HEP-2 cells and large intestine of mice
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is found in cattle farms and can live in the intestine of healthy cattle. Mostcases of human illnesses including nonbloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndromecan be traced, either directly or indirectly, to cattle. One strategy for reducing the risk of EnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coli (EHEC) infections in human is to reduce the prevalence of inf...
متن کاملThe Escherichia coli K-12 gntP gene allows E. coli F-18 to occupy a distinct nutritional niche in the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine.
Escherichia coli F-18 is a human fecal isolate that makes type 1 fimbriae, encoded by the fim gene cluster, and is an excellent colonizer of the streptomycin-treated mouse intestine. E. coli F-18 fimA::tet, lacking type 1 fimbriae, was constructed by bacteriophage P1 transduction of the fim region of the E. coli K-12 strain ORN151, containing the tetracycline resistance gene from Tn10 inserted ...
متن کاملType 1 pili are not necessary for colonization of the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine by type 1-piliated Escherichia coli F-18 and E. coli K-12.
Escherichia coli F-18, an excellent colonizer of the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine, produces type 1 pili. E. coli F-18 FimA-, type 1 pilus negative, and E. coli F-18 FimH-, type 1 pilus positive but adhesin negative, were constructed by bacteriophage P1 transduction of defective fimA and fimH genes from the E. coli K-12 strains ORN151 and ORN133, respectively, into E. coli F-18. Ad...
