Production and purification of heat-stable enterotoxin b from a porcine Escherichia coli strain.
Production of heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb) by porcine Escherichia coli strains belonging to serogroup O115 was evaluated in ligated intestinal segments of adult rats. The conditions for optimal production and detection of STb were studied by using the STb-producing strain 4247. As STb production was similar in complex Trypticase soy broth and minimal Davis medium, the latter was used for the...
متن کاملCharacterization of heat-stable enterotoxin from a hypertoxigenic Escherichia coli strain that is pathogenic for cattle.
An enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strain isolated from a calf with clinical scours was found to produce over 17- to 60-fold more heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) than four laboratory-adapted bovine ETEC strains. The purified STa of this strain was identical to those produced by other ETEC strains. A severe form of scours was induced in 5- to 15-day-old colostrum-fed calves and in 1- to 2-...
متن کاملInvolvement of quorum sensing and heat-stable enterotoxin a in cell damage caused by a porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains with K88 fimbriae are often associated with the outbreaks of diarrhea in newborn and weaned piglets worldwide. In the present study, we observed that 10⁸ CFU/ml of K88(+) ETEC strain JG280 caused more death of pig intestinal IPEC-J2 cells than did 10⁹ CFU/ml, suggesting that ETEC-induced cell death was cell density dependent and that quorum sensin...
متن کاملCharacterization of Escherichia coli strains producing heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb) isolated from humans with diarrhea.
Two of 49 cytolethal distending toxin-producing strains of Escherichia coli isolated from human stools contained the gene coding for heat-stable enterotoxin b (STb), as detected by a colony hybridization assay. The STb gene was found to be on a 70-kb plasmid also coding for heat-labile enterotoxin (pLT-I). Restriction endonuclease analysis showed the STb gene from human isolates to be similar t...
متن کاملProperties of synthetically produced Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin.
The properties of a synthetically produced peptide composed of the same primary structure of 18 amino acids described for human Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin were compared with those of purified heat-stable toxin obtained by bacterial growth. The dosage required to evoke fluid secretion in the suckling mouse and rat ligated ileal loop assays was the same for both toxins. The antigeni...
