Yersinia enterocolitica Serum Resistance Proteins YadA and Ail Bind the Complement Regulator C4b-Binding Protein
Many pathogens are equipped with factors providing resistance against the bactericidal action of complement. Yersinia enterocolitica, a Gram-negative enteric pathogen with invasive properties, efficiently resists the deleterious action of human complement. The major Y. enterocolitica serum resistance determinants include outer membrane proteins YadA and Ail. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-antigen (...

متن کاملYersinia pestis Ail: multiple roles of a single protein
Yersinia pestis is one of the most virulent bacteria identified. It is the causative agent of plague-a systemic disease that has claimed millions of human lives throughout history. Y. pestis survival in insect and mammalian host species requires fine-tuning to sense and respond to varying environmental cues. Multiple Y. pestis attributes participate in this process and contribute to its pathoge...
متن کاملReal-time TaqMan PCR for Yersinia enterocolitica detection based on the ail and foxA genes.
Yersinia enterocolitica, a cause of emerging enteric infections, is a foodborne pathogen associated with various enteric and systemic syndromes, e.g., diarrhea, enteritis, and enterocolitis. Therefore, the detection of this pathogen has important significance. Previous real-time PCR for detection of Y. enterocolitica was primarily based on the ail gene; biotype 1A nonpathogenic strains were not...
متن کاملRole of YadA, Ail, and Lipopolysaccharide in Serum Resistance of Yersinia enterocolitica Serotype O:3.
Complement attack is a host strategy leading to elimination of pathogens. Yersinia enterocolitica expresses several potential complement resistance factors: the outer membrane proteins YadA and Ail as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To study the contribution of these factors to the survival of Y. enterocolitica serotype O:3 in nonimmune human serum, we constructed 23 mutant strains of Y. ente...
