Escherichia coli K88 Interaction with IgA Oligosaccharides
Diarrhea from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing the K88 fimbrial adhesin causes high morbidity and mortality among newborn and weaned piglets. K88 fimbrial adhesins are surface filaments with lectin activity that recognize specific glycoconjugates (glycoproteins or glycolipids) on the surface of intestinal cells. Carbohydrates that compete for adhesion attachment could serve...
متن کاملProdigiosin - A Multifaceted Escherichia coli Antimicrobial Agent
Despite a considerable interest in prodigiosin, the mechanism of its antibacterial activity is still poorly understood. In this work, Escherichia coli cells were treated with prodigiosin to determine its antimicrobial effect on bacterial physiology. The effect of prodigiosin was concentration dependent. In prodigiosin treated cells above MIC value no significant DNA damage or cytoplasmic membra...
متن کاملInteraction of Escherichia coli O157:H7 with leafy green produce.
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a foodborne pathogen responsible for human diarrheal disease. EHEC lives in the intestinal tract of cattle and other farm and wild animals, which may be the source of environmental contamination particularly of agricultural fields. Human infections are associated with consumption of tainted animal products and fresh produce. How the bacteria interact...
متن کاملInteraction of uropathogenic Escherichia coli with host uroepithelium.
Investigation into the pathogenesis of Escherichia coli urinary tract infection has provided numerous insights into the mechanisms by which bacteria adhere, grow and persist in association with host tissue. Many molecular details concerning the interaction of these bacteria with their host have been elucidated, and the murine model of cystitis has generated a new paradigm by which acute and rec...
متن کاملIdentification of key proteins of cultured human intestinal cells involved in interaction with enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) adherence to human intestinal tissue is known to be mediated by aggregative adherence fimbriae (AAF). However, the host cell molecules involved in EAEC adherence remain uncharacterized. In the present study, four key membrane glycoproteins of cultured human intestinal epithelial cells (INT-407) were found to be involved in the interaction with the T8 st...
