Role of Bordetella bronchiseptica sialic acid-binding hemagglutinin as a putative colonization factor.

چکیده
The role of Bordetella bronchiseptica sialic acid-binding hemagglutinin (SBHA) in bacterial colonization was studied by testing the ability of a phase-I strain carrying SBHA and its spontaneous mutants deficient in SBHA to colonize mouse tracheae. The mutants exhibited a remarkable reduction in colonizing ability, approximately 1,000-fold, when compared with that of the parent strain, suggesting that the possession of SBHA and the effective colonization by B. bronchiseptica organisms are closely related.

In vivo colonization profile study of Bordetella bronchiseptica in the nasal cavity
Bordetella bronchiseptica chronically infects a wide range of mammals, and resides primarily in the nasal cavity of the infected host. Multiple virulence factors of Bordetella species have been studied in the context of lower respiratory tract infections, but relatively less is known about the bacterial life cycle in the nasal cavity. Evidences were discovered for Bvg intermediate (Bvg(i)) phas...
متن کاملCooperative Roles for Fimbria and Filamentous Hemagglutinin in Bordetella Adherence and Immune Modulation
UNLABELLED Bordetella fimbriae (FIM) are generally considered to function as adhesins despite a lack of experimental evidence supporting this conclusion for Bordetella pertussis and evidence against a requirement for FIM in adherence of Bordetella bronchiseptica to mammalian cell lines. Using B. bronchiseptica and mice, we developed an in vivo adherence assay that revealed that FIM do function ...
متن کاملA highly adherent phenotype associated with virulent Bvg+-phase swine isolates of Bordetella bronchiseptica grown under modulating conditions.
The ability of Bvg(-)-phase and Bvg(+)-phase Bordetella bronchiseptica swine isolates, grown under modulating or nonmodulating conditions, to adhere to swine ciliated nasal epithelial cells was determined. When virulent strains were cultivated at 37 degrees C in the Bvg+ phase, numerous adherent bacteria (approximately eight per cell, depending on the strain used) were observed. However, when s...
متن کاملRole of Bordetella bronchiseptica adenylate cyclase in nasal colonization and in development of local and systemic immune responses in piglets.
Two Bordetella bronchiseptica mutants, lacking the adenylate cyclase (Cya) or both Cya and pertactin (Prn), were compared with their parental strain NL1013 in their abilities to colonize the nose of neonate piglets and to induce local and systemic antibody responses against filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) after intranasal (i.n.) inoculation. The number of bacteria recovered and the duration of ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the filamentous hemagglutinin-like protein FhaS in Bordetella bronchiseptica.
Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) is a large (>200 kDa), rod-shaped protein expressed by bordetellae that is both surface-associated and secreted. FHA mediates bacterial adherence to epithelial cells and macrophages in vitro and is absolutely required for tracheal colonization in vivo. The recently sequenced Bordetella bronchiseptica genome revealed the presence of a gene, fhaS, that is nearly id...
