Novel model to study virulence determinants of Escherichia coli K1.
It is shown here for the first time that locusts can be used as a model to study Escherichia coli K1 pathogenesis. E. coli K-12 strain HB101 has very low pathogenicity to locusts and does not invade the locust brain, whereas the injection of 2 x 10(6) E. coli K1 strain RS218 (O18:K1:H7) kills almost 100% of locusts within 72 h and invades the brain within 24 h of injection. Both mortality and i...
متن کاملUsing social marketing to develop and test tailored health messages.
OBJECTIVE To advance and promote procedures to evaluate tailored health messages based on the 4 Ps of social marketing (SM). METHOD Three studies are presented for heuristic purposes to show the evolution and application of a "research plan" to 3 phases of SM research that address the 4 Ps. RESULTS Qualitative and quantitative methods provide useful information to develop messages and to ev...
متن کاملExpression of G1- epitope of bovine ephemeral fever virus in E. coli : A novel candidate to develop ELISA kit
Bovine ephemeral fever is an acute and arthropod-borne viral disease of cattle and water buffalo which occurs seasonally in most of the world tropical and subtropical regions. The epizootic feature of the disease has been reported in Iran with serious economic consequences. The surface glycoprotein G of bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is composed of 4 antigenic sites (G1-G4) and plays the m...
متن کاملIdentity determinants of E. coli tryptophan tRNA.
The first base pair of the acceptor stem A1-U72 and the discriminator base G73, as well as the anticodon nucleotides, characterize the tryptophan tRNA in E. coli. To determine the contribution of these nucleotides to the tryptophan acceptor activity, various transcripts of E. coli tryptophan tRNA mutants were constructed. Substitutions of the discriminator base G73, which is conserved within pr...
متن کاملSticky Genomes: Using NGS Evidence to Test Hybrid Speciation Hypotheses
Hypotheses of hybrid origin are common. Here we use next generation sequencing to test a hybrid hypothesis for a non-model insect with a large genome. We compared a putative hybrid triploid stick insect species (Acanthoxyla geisovii) with its putative paternal diploid taxon (Clitarchus hookeri), a relationship that provides clear predictions for the relative genetic diversity within each genome...
