Porins and lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and isogenic rough mutants.
The lipopolysaccharide and porin profile of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, a smooth strain commonly used in antibiotic susceptibility testing, and five isogenic rough mutants was examined. The lipopolysaccharide of the parent strain had the characteristic ladder pattern on polyacrylamide gels, while that of the mutants appeared similar to chemotypes Ra and Rc of Salmonella typhimurium with some c...
متن کاملAssembly of LamB and OmpF in deep rough lipopolysaccharide mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.
Assembly of the OmpF and LamB proteins was kinetically retarded in deep rough lipopolysaccharide mutants of Escherichia coli K-12. OmpF assembly was affected at the step of conversion of metastable trimers to stable trimers, whereas LamB assembly was influenced both at the monomer-to-metastable trimer and metastable-to-stable trimer steps. These assembly defects were reversed in the presence of...
متن کاملThe Effect of Lipopolysaccharide Core Structure Defects on Transformation Efficiency in Isogenic Escherichia coli BW25113 rfaG, rfaP, and rfaC Mutants
The role of lipopolysaccharide core components in DNA permeability of Escherichia coli was studied. The K-12 BW25113 wild type strain and its derivatives containing deeprough mutations of rfaG, rfaP, and rfaC, which are defective in terms of lipopolysaccharide core structure, were assessed for DNA permeability using heat shock transformation. Outer membrane stability was also assessed through a...
متن کاملBrucellosis Vaccines: Assessment of Brucella melitensis Lipopolysaccharide Rough Mutants Defective in Core and O-Polysaccharide Synthesis and Export
BACKGROUND The brucellae are facultative intracellular bacteria that cause brucellosis, one of the major neglected zoonoses. In endemic areas, vaccination is the only effective way to control this disease. Brucella melitensis Rev 1 is a vaccine effective against the brucellosis of sheep and goat caused by B. melitensis, the commonest source of human infection. However, Rev 1 carries a smooth li...
متن کاملImipenem- and meropenem-resistant mutants of Enterobacter cloacae and Proteus rettgeri lack porins.
Carbapenems such as imipenem and meropenem are not rapidly hydrolyzed by commonly occurring beta-lactamases. Nevertheless, it was possible, by mutagenesis and selection, to isolate mutant strains of Enterobacter cloacae and Proteus rettgeri that are highly resistant to meropenem and imipenem. Two alterations were noted in the E. cloacae mutants. First, the mutant strains appeared to be strongly...
