Escherichia coli K88 Interaction with IgA Oligosaccharides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diarrhea from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing the K88 fimbrial adhesin causes high morbidity and mortality among newborn and weaned piglets. K88 fimbrial adhesins are surface filaments with lectin activity that recognize specific glycoconjugates (glycoproteins or glycolipids) on the surface of intestinal cells. Carbohydrates that compete for adhesion attachment could serve as an alternative for disease prevention. In this study, IgA, IgG and IgM oligosaccharides were tested to inhibit the adhesion of E. coli K88 to piglet mucins. Immunoglobulins were isolated from porcine serum by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) and purified by affinity chromatography. In vitro K88 adhesin interacts specifically with IgA oligosaccharides, but not with carbohydrates of IgG or IgM. Also IgA oligosaccharides partially inhibit the adherence of K88 strain to porcine intestinal mucins.

Chito-oligosaccharide reduces diarrhea incidence and attenuates the immune response of weaned pigs challenged with Escherichia coli K88.
Seventy-two barrows (Landrace × Large White, initial BW of 4.9 ± 0.3 kg and 17 ± 3 d old) were used to determine if dietary chito-oligosaccharides can replace antibiotics as a means to reduce signs associated with infection in weaned pigs challenged with Escherichia coli. Pigs were assigned to 1 of 4 treatments in a randomized complete block design using 6 pens per treatment with 3 pigs per pen...
متن کاملModulatory Effects of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide on Intestinal Mucosal Immunity and Microbial Community of Weaned Piglets Challenged by an Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (K88)
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize microbial pathogens and trigger immune response, but their regulation by neuropeptide-vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in weaned piglets infected by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 remains unexplored. Therefore, the study was conducted to investigate its role using a model of early weaned piglets infected by ETEC K88. Male Duroc × Landrace × Y...
متن کاملSpray-dried plasma improves growth performance and reduces inflammatory status of weaned pigs challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88.
We investigated whether spray-dried plasma (SDP) improved growth and health of piglets challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 (ETEC). Forty-eight pigs weaned at 21 d (BW = 4.88 +/- 0.43 kg) received one of four diets containing 6% SDP or fish proteins (as-fed basis) either nonmedicated (SDP-NM and FP-NM diets) or medicated with 0 or 250 mg/kg of colistine + 500 mg/kg of amoxycycli...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Clostridium butyricumon growth performance, immune function, and cecal microflora in broiler chickens challenged with Escherichia coli K88. Three hundred sixty 1-d-old broiler chickens were randomly divided into 4 treatments: negative control (NC) birds were fed a basal diet and not challenged with E. coli K88; positive control (PC) birds w...

The effects of feeding dehydrated Enterococcus faecium on growth performance, immune response, and cecal microflora in broiler chickens challenged with Escherichia coli K88 were investigated. Two hundred eighty-eight 1-d-old birds were randomly assigned to 4 treatments: negative control birds (N-con) fed a basal diet and not challenged with E. coli K88; positive control birds (P-con) fed a basa...
