Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli Strains That Cause Persistent and Transient Mastitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report here the genome sequences of two strains of Escherichia coli (ECA-B and ECC-M) that cause bovine mastitis. These strains are known to be associated with persistent and transient mastitis; strain ECA-B causes a transient infection, and ECC-M leads to a persistent infection.

Adherent and invasive Escherichia coli are associated with persistent bovine mastitis.
Bovine mastitis caused by Escherichia coli has traditionally been viewed as a transient infection. However, E. coli can also cause clonal persistent intramammary infection (IMI) in dairy cows. In this study, we explored the possibility that E. coli strains associated with persistent IMI are better able to adhere to, invade, survive and replicate in cultured mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T) than...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Draft Sequences of Six Commensal Fecal and Six Mastitis-Associated Escherichia coli Strains of Bovine Origin
The bovine gastrointestinal tract is a natural reservoir for commensal and pathogenic Escherichia coli strains with the ability to cause mastitis. Here, we report the whole-genome sequences of six E. coli isolates from acute mastitis cases and six E. coli isolates from the feces of udder-healthy cows.
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Escherichia coli Strains 1303 and ECC-1470 Isolated from Bovine Mastitis
Escherichia coli is the leading causative agent of acute bovine mastitis. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of E. coli O70:H32 strain 1303, isolated from an acute case of bovine mastitis, and E. coli Ont:Hnt strain ECC-1470, isolated from a persistent infection.
متن کاملGenomic and Phenomic Study of Mammary Pathogenic Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli is a major etiological agent of intra-mammary infections (IMI) in cows, leading to acute mastitis and causing great economic losses in dairy production worldwide. Particular strains cause persistent IMI, leading to recurrent mastitis. Virulence factors of mammary pathogenic E. coli (MPEC) involved pathogenesis of mastitis as well as those differentiating strains causing acute o...
متن کاملGenome Based Phylogeny and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Intra-Mammary Pathogenic Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli is an important cause of bovine mastitis and can cause both severe inflammation with a short-term transient infection, as well as less severe, but more chronic inflammation and infection persistence. E. coli is a highly diverse organism that has been classified into a number of different pathotypes or pathovars, and mammary pathogenic E. coli (MPEC) has been proposed as a new s...
