Iss from a virulent avian Escherichia coli.
No single characteristic of virulent avian Escherichia coli has been identified that can be exploited in colibacillosis detection protocols. Research in our lab suggests a strong association between the presence of an iss DNA sequence with an isolate's disease-causing ability. The study presented here focuses on the techniques used in the expression, purification, and characterization of avian ...
متن کاملPlasmid-borne virulence-associated genes have a conserved organization in virulent strains of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli.
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is an important respiratory pathogen of poultry. Various virulence factors are responsible for determining the pathogenicity of these strains, and it is commonly believed they are encoded on large plasmids the strains carry. This study examined a series of strains, the pathogenicity of which had previously been determined by aerosol exposure, for possess...
متن کاملDistribution of virulence associated genes in isolated Escherichia coli from avian colibacillosis
BACKGROUND: Colibacillosis is one of the most prevalentdiseases in the world that causes multimillion-dollar annuallosses. OBJECTIVES: In order to evaluate molecular epidemiologyof some virulence associated factors in Escherichia coli,isolated from poultry, the presence of iut A, iss, hly F, omp T, iroN, afa, sfa (S)and pap G (II) were investigated by multiplex PCRassay. METHODS: Two hundred th...
متن کاملA study on the presence of some potential virulence genes and quinolone resistance in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from chickens in Northeast of Iran
Background: Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), which is the causative agent of colibacillosis, harbors several putative virulence genes. An important trait of APEC for both poultry and public health is antibiotic resistance. Objectives: In the present study, some potential virulence genes of APECs isolated from Northeast of Iran and their resistance to the quinolones antibiotics were stu...
متن کاملPeriplasmic expression of Bacillus thermocatenulatus lipase in Escherichia coli in presence of different signal sequences
Efforts to express lipase in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli have so far been unsuccessful andmost of the expressed recombinant lipases accumulate in the insoluble cell fraction. To evaluate the role ofnative and heterologous signal peptides in translocation of the lipase across the inner membrane of E. coli,the lipase gene (btl2) was cloned downstream of the native ...
