Susceptibility of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates to growth inhibition by porcine intestinal epithelial cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Growth of human, but not porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolates is inhibited during incubation with porcine intestinal epithelial cells and by a constitutively produced factor(s) present in unstimulated cell supernatants. The inhibitory factor(s) is heat stable, not produced by serum-starved cells, and is present in a diverse number of cultured epithelial cell lines of animal, but not of human origin. Susceptibility to porcine intestinal epithelial cells appears to be restricted to ETEC and not E. coli O157:H7 disease isolates.

In contrast to K88-positive porcine enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), K88-negative porcine ETEC strains did not adhere to isolated intestinal epithelial cells in vitro. However, they did adhere to intestinal epithelium in vivo. Growth of one such ETEC (strain 987) in pig small intestine consistently yielded a greater percentage of piliated cells than did growth in vitro. This increase wa...

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...

Background: The EU ban on antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) has initiated a search for nonantibiotic alternatives. It has been demonstrated that certain antibiotics and non-antibiotic alternatives enhance growth by inhibiting inflammatory cells, i.e. neutrophils and macrophages in the intestine. There is very little information on the effect of anti-inflammatory compounds on intestinal epith...

BACKGROUND Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections result in large economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. ETEC infections cause pro-inflammatory responses in intestinal epithelial cells and subsequent diarrhea in pigs, leading to reduced growth rate and mortality. Administration of probiotics as feed additives displayed health benefits against intestinal infections. Sacchar...

Infections with enteric pathogens like enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major health issue worldwide and while diarrhea is the major problem, prolonged, severe, and dual infections with multiple pathogens may also compromise the nutritional status of the infected individuals. There is almost nothing currently known about the effect of ETEC infection on intestinal absorptions of wate...
