Regulatory Interactions among adhesin gene systems of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain J96 carries multiple determinants for fimbrial adhesins. The regulatory protein PapB of P fimbriae has previously been implicated in potential coregulatory events. The focB gene of the F1C fimbria determinant is highly homologous to papB; the translated sequences share 81% identity. In this study we investigated the role of PapB and FocB in regulation of th...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...
متن کاملgenotyping of virulence factors of uropathogenic escherichia coli by pcr
background: escherichia coli is the most causative agent of urinary tract infections (utis). apart from all human infectious diseases, uti have a high prevalence and in most cases, escherichia coli is a dominance bacterium which can cause pyelonephritis and cystitis. the aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of some virulence genes expressing fimbriae, production of hemolysin and aer...
متن کاملDistribution of uropathogenic virulence factors among Escherichia coli strains isolated from dogs and cats.
A variety of virulence factors (VFs) such as type 1 fimbriae, pilus associated with pyelonephritis, S fimbriae, afimbrial adhesin, alpha-hemolysin, aerobactin and cytotoxic necrotizing factor 1 are associated with uropathogenic Escherichia coli. In this study, 80 uropathogenic E. coli strains in 50 dogs and 30 cats suffering from UTI. In addition, 60 E. coli strains were isolated from fecal sam...
متن کاملMolecular blueprint of uropathogenic Escherichia coli virulence provides clues toward the development of anti-virulence therapeutics
The unexplained collapse of honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies across the world continues to fascinate both the scientific and mainstream media alike. This is mainly due to the worldwide importance of honeybees in ecological and commercial sectors. We recently reported how the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, altered the viral landscape in the Hawaiian archipelago by decreasing the viral ...
