Escherichia coli xth mutants are hypersensitive to hydrogen peroxide.
Escherichia coli mutants lacking exonuclease III (xthA) are exceptionally sensitive to hydrogen peroxide. They are killed by H2O2 at 20 times the rate of wild-type bacteria and at 3 to 4 times the rate of recA cells. This is the first clear phenotypic sensitivity reported for xth- E. coli and should aid in clarifying peroxide-induced lethality and the in vivo role of exonuclease III.
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of Escherichia coli strains isolated from human samples
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, including humans. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that E. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Group A and B1 are generally associated with commensals, whereas group B2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotypes. Most enteropathogenic isolates, however, are assigne...
متن کاملEscherichia coli host strains.
To successfully perform molecular genetic techniques it is essential to have a full understanding of the properties of the various Escherichia coli host strains commonly used for the propagation and manipulation of recombinant DNA. E. coli is an enteric rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium with a circular genome of 4.6 Mb (1). It was originally chosen as a model system because of its ability to g...
متن کاملAnimal Strains of Escherichia coli
One mechanism of plasmid-mediated resistance to gentamicin in Escherichia coli strains isolated from animals is due to the synthesis of the aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase type IV. A second mechanism of plasmid-mediated resistance to gentamicin was detected in animal strains of E. coli in France and is due to the production of the aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase type II. The molecular...
متن کاملProduction of metastases by treatment with carcinostatic agents. I. Effects of carcinostatic agents on the host.
The number of lung "metastases" that develop from intravenously injected tumor cells is modified by the administration of certain carcinostatic agents. The number is increased by post-treatment with small amounts of mechlorethamine (HN~) or actinomycin D, but is decreased by larger amounts. Pretreatment with HN~ results in increased numbers of lung metastases. Pretreatment with actinomycin D, H...
