چکیده

Stationary-phase Escherichia coli cultures showed enhanced osmotic resistance as compared with cultures in mid-logarithmic growth or preadapted to osmotic stress. The osmotolerance that developed during starvation or osmotic adaptation required de novo protein synthesis. Of the 22 polypeptides induced during osmotic shock, five were also starvation proteins.

Influence of osmoregulation processes on starvation survival of Escherichia coli in seawater.

The adaptation of enteric bacteria in seawater has previously been described in terms of nutrient starvation. In the present paper, we bring experimental arguments suggesting that survival of these microorganisms could also depend on their ability to overcome the effects of osmotic stress. We analyzed the influence of osmoregulatory mechanisms (potassium transport, transport and accumulation of...

The Effect of Osmotic Shock on RpoS Expression and Antibiotic Resistance in Escherichia coli

The general stress response regulator σ, commonly known as RpoS, is a sigma subunit of RNA polymerase that is up-regulated when bacteria are exposed to environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, high temperature, UV radiation, and feast-famine conditions. Current knowledge is that a single stress condition can provide stress tolerance and can also lead to cross-protection against unrelated c...

Relative gene expression in acid-adapted Escherichia coli O157:H7 during lactoperoxidase and lactic acid challenge in Tryptone Soy Broth.

Cross-protection of acid-adapted Escherichia coli O157:H7 against inimical stresses is mediated by the glucose-repressed sigma factor RpoS. However, many food systems in which E. coli O157:H7 occurs are complex and contain glucose. This study was aimed at investigating the contribution of acid and lactoperoxidase (LP)-inducible genes to cross-protection of E. coli O157:H7 against LP system and ...

Oral vaccination of weaned rabbits against enteropathogenic Escherichia coli-like E. coli O103 infection: use of heterologous strains harboring lipopolysaccharide or adhesin of pathogenic strains.

To test the importance of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adhesin as major antigens in vaccination against rabbit enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC)-like E. coli O103 infection, we used two nonpathogenic wild-type strains to immunize rabbits at weaning. One of these strains (C127) harbors the O103 LPS but does not express the 32,000-molecular-weight adhesin that characterizes the highly path...

On the Limited Role of relA in Kanamycin and Amino Acid Starvation Induced Stringency and Subsequent Antibiotic Cross- protection in Escherichia coli

Two genes, relA and spoT, are known to be responsible for the production of ppGpp when E. coli cells undergoing amino acid starvation initiate the stringent response. In this modified state, cells have been reported to up-regulate processes which confer resistance to antibiotics. However, the individual contribution of relA was not separated from potential effects of spoT. By using 3 strains of...
