چکیده
background: n-acyl homoserine lactone (ahl) is found to be the main component of quorum sensing (qs) in gram-negative bacteria and plays an important role in biofilm formation. little information is available regarding the role of ahl in biofilm formation in escherichia coli (e. coli). the purpose of this investigation was to biochemically detect and characterize ahl activity in biofilm-forming uropathogenic e. coli (upec) isolated from urine samples of the patients with urinary tract infections (utis) in kerman, iran. methods: thirty-five upec isolates were obtained from urine samples of the patients with utis referred to the afzalipoor hospital. the isolates were identified by biochemical tests. biofilm analyses of all the isolates were performed using the microtiter plate method at od 490nm. n-acyl homoserine lactone was separated from cell mass supernatants by liquid-liquid extraction (lle) and analyzed by a colorimetric method. n-acyl homoserine lactone functional groups were identified by fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). results: the biofilm formation assay identified 10 (28.57%) isolates with strong, 16 (45.71%) with moderate, and 9 (25.71%) with weak biofilm activities. the upec isolates with strong and weak biofilm activities were subjected to ahl analyses. it was found that isolates with the highest ahl activities also exhibited strong adherence to microplate wells (p≤0.05). two e. coli isolates with the highest ahl activities were selected for ft-ir spectroscopy. peaks at 1764.33, 1377.99, and 1242.90 cm-1 correspond to the c=o bond of the lactone ring, and the n=h and c-o bonds of the acyl chain, respectively. conclusion: we found that many upec isolates exhibited strong biofilm formation. the control of this property by ahl may contribute to the pathogenesis of the organism in uti’s.

Abstract: Background and Aim: Urinary tract infections are one of the most commonly reported nosocomial infections caused by colonization of E. coli in the mucosal epithelium and in the formation of microbial biofilms, which damage the host tissue. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of biofilm formation of uropathogenic E. coli based on urinary tract stones of people with urin...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that more than 90% of e. coli isolates harbored the fimh gene. the high binding ability of fimh could result in the increased pathogenicity of e. coli; thus, fimh could be used as a possible diagnostic marker and/or vaccine candidate. materials and methods a total of 140 isolated e. coli strains from patients with uti were identified using biochem...

PURPOSE We investigated the molecular types of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) by using conventional phylogrouping, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and fimH genotyping. METHODS Samples of patients younger than 18 years of age were collected from the Chung-Ang University Hospital over 2 years. Conventional phylogenetic grouping for UPEC strains was performed by polymerase chain reacti...
متن کاملThe FimH Gene in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains Isolated From Patients With Urinary Tract Infection
BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of main health problems caused by many microorganisms, including uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). UPEC strains are the most frequent pathogens responsible for 85% and 50% of community and hospital acquired UTIs, respectively. UPEC strains have special virulence factors, including type 1 fimbriae, which can result in worsening of UTIs. O...
