Surface Polysaccharide Mutants Reveal that Absence of O Antigen Reduces Biofilm Formation of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the Pasteurellaceae family and the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, a highly contagious lung disease causing important economic losses. Surface polysaccharides, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and capsular polysaccharides (CPS), are implicated in the adhesion and virulence of A. pleuropneumoniae, but their ...
متن کاملHistone-like protein H-NS regulates biofilm formation and virulence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia, a very important swine respiratory infectious disease causing great economic losses worldwide. The pathogenesis of this disease is still not completely understood. Biofilm formation contributes to full virulence in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. In the present study, two biofilm-producing muta...
متن کاملEnhanced biofilm formation and reduced virulence of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae luxS mutant.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the pathogen of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia causing great economic losses globally. LuxS is known to be involved in the interspecies quorum sensing by mediating the production of AI-2 signal molecule and play important roles in regulating various behaviors of bacteria. In this study, A. pleuropneumoniae was tested to be able to produce AI-2 like molecul...
متن کاملThe two-component system CpxR/A represses the expression of Salmonella virulence genes by affecting the stability of the transcriptional regulator HilD
Salmonella enterica can cause intestinal or systemic infections in humans and animals mainly by the presence of pathogenicity islands SPI-1 and SPI-2, containing 39 and 44 genes, respectively. The AraC-like regulator HilD positively controls the expression of the SPI-1 genes, as well as many other Salmonella virulence genes including those located in SPI-2. A previous report indicates that the ...
متن کاملGlobal Effects of Catecholamines on Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Gene Expression
Bacteria can use mammalian hormones to modulate pathogenic processes that play essential roles in disease development. Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important porcine respiratory pathogen causing great economic losses in the pig industry globally. Stress is known to contribute to the outcome of A. pleuropneumoniae infection. To test whether A. pleuropneumoniae could respond to stress ho...
