Correlations between FimH mutations and virulence were established by studying a collection of human commensal and extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli natural isolates. Pathoadaptive (A27V and, to a lesser extent, A119V) and "commensal-adaptive" (A202V) mutations were evidenced in B2 phylogenetic group strains. fimH phylogenetic analysis indicates that these pathoadaptive mutations occu...
FimH is a mannose-specific bacterial lectin found on type 1 fimbriae with a monovalent carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) that is known from X-ray studies. However, binding studies with multivalent ligands have suggested an additional carbohydrate-binding site on this protein. In order to prove this hypothesis, a bivalent glycopeptide ligand with the capacity to bridge two putative carbohydr...
Escherichia coli causes about 90% of urinary tract infections (UTI), and more than 95% of all UTI-causing E. coli express type 1 fimbriae. The fimbrial tip-positioned adhesive protein FimH utilizes a shear force-enhanced, so-called catch-bond mechanism of interaction with its receptor, mannose, where the lectin domain of FimH shifts from a low- to a high-affinity conformation upon separation fr...
Antagonists of the Escherichia coli type-1 fimbrial adhesin FimH are recognized as attractive alternatives for antibiotic therapies and prophylaxes against acute and recurrent bacterial infections. In this study α-d-mannopyranosides O- or C-linked with an alkyl, alkene, alkyne, thioalkyl, amide, or sulfonamide were investigated to fit a hydrophobic substituent with up to two aryl groups within ...
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the principal cause of urinary tract infection in women, attaches to the superficial facet cell layer of the bladder epithelium (urothelium) via its FimH adhesin. Attachment triggers exfoliation of bacteria-laden superficial facet cells, followed by rapid reconstitution of the urothelium through differentiation of underlying basal and intermediate cells. W...
Bacterial adhesion to and subsequent colonization of surfaces are the first steps toward forming biofilms, which are a major concern for implanted medical devices and in many diseases. It has generally been assumed that strong irreversible adhesion is a necessary step for biofilm formation. However, some bacteria, such as Escherichia coli when binding to mannosylated surfaces via the adhesive p...
background and objectives: urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common infections in the world. the majority of utis are caused by uropathogenic escherichia coli (upec) strains. fimh and flic are the most important virulence factors of upec. to date, any ideal vaccine against uti has not been approved for human use and we need to test new targets to develop an ideal vaccine against ...
conclusions the results of this study indicated that more than 90% of e. coli isolates harbored the fimh gene. the high binding ability of fimh could result in the increased pathogenicity of e. coli; thus, fimh could be used as a possible diagnostic marker and/or vaccine candidate. materials and methods a total of 140 isolated e. coli strains from patients with uti were identified using biochem...
background: urinary tract infections are one of the most frequent health problems and uropathogenic escherichia coli is the major pathogen resulting utis. the severity of utis is caused by the expression of a large range of virulence factors.in this study, we evaluated the allelic frequency fimh gene, in upecs isolated from patients with utis. this study also aimed to determine the roles of c64...
Type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli are surface organelles which mediate binding to D-mannose-containing structures. By direct binding of FimH to D-mannose attached to a carrier protein, we demonstrated that this protein was uniquely responsible for the receptor specificity. Furthermore, we show by receptor immunoelectron microscopy that the FimH protein is located laterally in the structure of...
