We investigated whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hypothermia develops in a serotype-specific manner in biotelemetered conscious rats. Two different E. coli serotypes of LPSs were injected at a dose of 250 μg/kg, ip. E. coli O55:B5 LPS elicited an initial hypothermia and subsequent fever, but E. coli O111:B4 LPS caused more potent monophasic hypothermia. Serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)...

Atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) is an important etiological agent of infantile diarrhea worldwide. Pathogenic aEPEC strains employ LEE-encoded proteins to subvert normal host cell functions, culminating in intestinal pathologic alterations termed attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions. In addition, some aEPEC strains harbor non-LEE effectors that may contribute to pathogenesis,...

Genome comparisons have demonstrated that dramatic genetic change often underlies the emergence of new bacterial pathogens. Evolutionary analysis of Escherichia coli O157:H7, a pathogen that has emerged as a worldwide public health threat in the past two decades, has posited that this toxin-producing pathogen evolved in a series of steps from O55:H7, a recent ancestor of a nontoxigenic pathogen...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(18)N(2)S, contains two independent and conformationally similar mol-ecules, which form cyclic dimers via inter-molecular hydrogen bonds of the type N-H⋯S [graph set R(2) (2)(8)]. The structure is iso-morphous with that of one of the polymorphs of 4,4,6-tri-methyl-1-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-pyrimidine-2(1H)-thione [Yam-in et al. (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E...

Abstract Background To investigate how anatomical cross-sectional area and volume of quadriceps triceps surae muscles were affected by ageing, resistance training in older younger men, vivo. Methods The old participants randomly assigned to moderate (O55, n = 13) or high-load (O80, 14) intervention (12 weeks; 3 times/week) corresponding 55% 80% one repetition maximum, respectively. Young men (Y...

Out of 120 fecal samples collected from diarrheic calves at different localities in AL-Qalyoubia Governorate. 43 were positive for Escherichia coli with an incidence of 35.83%.Serogrouping of E.coli isolates recovered 8 belong to different "O" serogroups which were O55, O111, O26, O153, O8, O18, O86, O157, and "5" isolates were untypable. Antibiogram pattern of isolated E.coli serogroups showed...
