Cattle are a major reservoir of Escherichia coli 0157:H7, an important zoonotic pathogen that causes hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Colonization of cattle occurs predominantly in the large intestine, and may especially target follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) in the terminal rectum. Bacterial colonization involves induction of attaching-effacing (A/E) lesions, mediated by type III secreted proteins and an outer membrane protein called intimin. ToxB, encoded on plasmid pO157, contributes to adherence of E. coli O157:H7 through promotion of the production and/or secretion of type III secreted proteins. Production of type III secreted proteins and intestinal colonization appear to involve quorum-sensing mechanisms. In the human host, E. coli O157:H7 may have a preference for FAE in the distal small intestine. The H7 flagellum induces production of chemokines such as interleukin 8, and neutrophilic infiltration of the intestinal mucosa, which in turn may enhance Shiga toxin (Stx) uptake across the intestinal epithelium. Both Stx and cytokine responses play critical roles in the induction of the vascular lesions that underlie hemorrhagic colitis and HUS. In cattle, Stx binds to intestinal crypt cells and submucosal lymphocytes but not vascular endothelium. The role played by Stx in cattle may be to suppress mucosal immunity, yet enhance other effects that promote intestinal colonization. 相似文献

Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) Escherichia coli infections are characterised by the formation of attaching and effacing (AE) lesions on intestinal epithelial cells. Secretion of extracellular proteins (EspA, EspB, and EspD) via a type III secretion apparatus is necessary for the formation of the AE lesions by human EPEC. In this study, we show that bovine EPEC and EHEC are also able to secrete polypeptides homologous to the already described Esp proteins, most probably via a type III secretion system. Bovine EPEC and EHEC strains present two different secretion profiles of Esp proteins which correlate to the pathotypes of the esp genes as determined by PCR. We also demonstrate that genes encoding secreted proteins, present in the LEE of two bovine strains, are organised in the same way as in the human EPEC strain E2348/69. 相似文献

The Ins and Outs of siderophore mediated iron uptake by extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli
Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) are responsible for many infectious diseases in livestock, such as airsacculitis in poultry, acute mastitis in dairy animals and neonatal septicaemia and urinary tract infections (UTI) in pigs and cattle. In their animal hosts, ExPEC have to cope with low iron availability. By using different strategies, ExPEC strains are able to retrieve iron sequestered by host proteins. One of these strategies is the use of siderophores, which are small secreted molecules with high affinity for iron. ExPEC are known to synthesize up to four different types of siderophores: enterobactin, salmochelins, yersiniabactin and aerobactin. Steps required for iron acquisition by siderophores include (1) siderophore synthesis in the cytoplasm, (2) siderophore secretion, (3) ferri-siderophore reception, (4) ferri-siderophore internalization and (5) iron release in the cytoplasm. Each siderophore has specific properties and may be differentially regulated to provide different advantages, potentially allowing ExPEC to adapt to different environmental conditions or to overcome host innate immunity. Iron acquisition by siderophores plays a significant role in ExPEC virulence and, as it requires outer membrane receptors, it constitutes an interesting target for the development of vaccines that could be used to limit the number of infectious diseases due to ExPEC in livestock. 相似文献

Infection of cells by tick-borne rickettsiae appears to be mediated by outer membrane proteins that allow pathogens to adhere to host cells. Major surface protein (MSP) 1a of Anaplasma marginale, the type species for the genus Anaplasma, was shown previously to be an adhesin for tick cells. The A. marginale MSP1a has a variable number of tandem 28 or 29 amino acid repeats located in the amino terminal region of the protein that contains an adhesion domain that is necessary and sufficient for infection of tick cells. The MSP1a studies demonstrated the importance of combining structural and functional characteristics for identification of adhesive proteins. In the present study other outer membrane proteins containing tandem repeats were selected from organisms of the family Anaplasmataceae and studied for their adhesive properties to tick cells. The adhesive properties and protein characteristics were then analyzed in order to provide a predictor of the adhesion function of proteins identified from genome sequences. Proteins selected included the A. marginale MSP1a, A. phagocytophilum 100 and 130 kDa, Ehrlichia chaffeensis 120 kDa, E. canis 140 kDa and E. ruminantium "mucin", which were all cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and then tested as adhesins for cultured IDE8 cells. Of the proteins studied, the A. marginale MSP1a and the E. ruminantium "mucin" were found to be adhesins for tick cells. Although all of these recombinant outer membrane proteins were glycosylated, the A. marginale MSP1a and E. ruminantium "mucin" adhesins shared a common feature of having a high Ser/Thr content in the tandem repeats. The results reported herein provide new information on the role of E. ruminantium "mucin" as an adhesin for tick cells and also suggest a role of glycans in adhesin molecules. 相似文献

Abstract Surface-exposed outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of Edwardsiella ictaluri were isolated by selective solubilization of inner membrane proteins from total membrane preparations. Purification of biotin-labeled, insoluble, surface-exposed proteins using streptavidin columns was performed, and single-dimension sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) showed four major OMPs, with apparent molecular weights of 22, 31, 59, and 72 kilodaltons (kDa). Purified surface-exposed proteins corresponded to proteins isolated from total outer membrane preparations resolved by SDS–PAGE, showing that surface-exposed proteins are within the outer membrane fraction and can be successfully isolated using affinity purification. Polyclonal antiserum against these surface-exposed OMPs was produced in New Zealand white rabbits, and protein recognition was determined using in-gel Western analysis. Rabbit antisera recognized three of the four protein bands (22, 31, and 59 kDa). The produced antisera blocked invasion of cells from fathead minnow Pimephales promelas by virulent E. ictaluri, showing that at least one of these proteins is involved in initial bacterial–host cell interactions. 相似文献

细菌外膜成分布劳恩脂蛋白(Braun lipoprotein,BLP)在调控大肠埃希氏菌感染导致的宿主炎症反应过程中发挥的具体作用尚不清楚。该研究分析了野生型大肠埃希氏菌(BLP表达阳性)、大肠埃希氏菌JE5505(BLP表达阴性)和大肠埃希氏菌JE5505与BLP联合刺激小鼠后,体内促炎性细胞因子(TNF-α和IL-1β)、抗炎因子(IL-10)和趋化因子(RANTES)分泌的情况,以及小鼠的存活率和脏器的损伤水平。结果表明,大肠埃希氏菌JE5505组感染小鼠后导致死亡的速度比野生型大肠埃希氏菌组和大肠埃希氏菌JE5505与BLP联合刺激组更迅速;JE5505与BLP联合刺激组在感染20 h后小鼠不再出现死亡。在大肠埃希氏菌JE5505感染的小鼠血清、肝脏和肺脏中,促炎性细胞因子和趋化因子的分泌水平显著高于、抗炎细胞因子显著低于野生型大肠埃希氏菌组和大肠埃希氏菌JE5505与BLP联合刺激组的小鼠(P<0.01)。此外,BLP的存在可下调大肠埃希氏菌感染导致小鼠脏器中组织损伤标志物HMGB1和HABP2的蛋白表达(P<0.05)。说明细菌外膜成分BLP耐受可能通过调节炎症介质的产生,进而对细菌感染导致宿主脏器损伤和炎症反应发挥调控和保护作用,从而避免小鼠在被大肠埃希氏菌感染后出现快速死亡的现象。 相似文献

The present study examined the salivary glands of Rhipicephalus sanguineus males at days 0, 3, and 7 post-detachment from the host. Degeneration of this organ occurred in the three stages and it advanced as time away from the host progressed. Thus, characteristics of degeneration were more prominent in males at day 7 post-detachment than in males at day 0 post-detachment. In males at day 0 post-detachment, type I acini were intact; while in other stages these acini exhibited signs of degeneration. In type II acini of individuals at day 0 post-detachment, cells a, c1-c5, c8, and indeterminate were identified. Only c1 and c8 were intact. The remaining cell types were undergoing degeneration, as well as all cells d-f in type III acini, and all g in type IV acini. In males at day 3 post-detachment from the host, all cells (a, c1-c5, c8 and indeterminate) of type II acini, cells d and e in type III acini, and g in type IV were undergoing degeneration. In some Indeterminate acini, the boundaries of cells still could be distinguished, while in others, only a cytoplasmic mass was observed. At day 3 post-detachment, apoptotic bodies were present. In males at day 7 post-detachment from the host, the degeneration process progressed. All cells a, c1, c3-c5, c8 and indeterminate in type II, and d and e in type III acini were undergoing degeneration. Type IV acini still contained remnants of secretion and in Indeterminate acini, only a cytoplasmic mass could be observed. At this stage, apoptotic bodies were also present. The present study still revealed that cells of salivary glands of R. sanguineus males when degenerating undergo the following changes: (a) decrease in secretion production with or without granule breakage, (b) changes in nuclear morphology, (c) cytoplasm shrinkage, (d) loss of cell shape, (e) loss of cell boundaries, and (e) cytoplasmic vacuolation. Together, these changes result in cell fragmentation with release of apoptotic bodies. 相似文献

Many bacterial virulence attributes, like toxins, adhesins, invasins, iron uptake systems, are encoded within specific regions of the bacterial genome. These in size varying regions are termed pathogenicity islands (PAIs) since they confer pathogenic properties to the respective micro-organism. Per definition PAIs are exclusively found in pathogenic strains and are often inserted near transfer-RNA genes. Nevertheless, non-pathogenic bacteria also possess foreign DNA elements that confer advantageous features, leading to improved fitness. These additional DNA elements as well as PAIs are termed genomic islands and were acquired during bacterial evolution. Significant G+C content deviation in pathogenicity islands with respect to the rest of the genome, the presence of direct repeat sequences at the flanking regions, the presence of integrase gene determinants as other mobility features,the particular insertion site (tRNA gene) as well as the observed genetic instability suggests that pathogenicity islands were acquired by horizontal gene transfer. PAIs are the fascinating proof of the plasticity of bacterial genomes. PAIs were originally described in human pathogenic Escherichia (E.) coli strains. In the meantime PAIs have been found in various pathogenic bacteria of humans, animals and even plants. The Locus of Enterocyte Effacement (LEE) is one particular widely distributed PAI of E coli. In addition, it also confers pathogenicity to the related species Citrobacter (C.) rodentium and Escherichia (E.) alvei. The LEE is an important virulence feature of several animal pathogens. It is an obligate PAI of all animal and human enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), and most enterohaemorrhegic E. coli (EHEC) also harbor the LEE. The LEE encodes a type III secretion system, an adhesion (intimin) that mediates the intimate contact between the bacterium and the epithelial cell, as well as various proteins which are secreted via the type III secretion system. The LEE encoded virulence features are responsible for the formation of so called attaching and effacing (AE) lesions in the intestinal epithelium. Due to its wide distribution in animal pathogens, LEE encoded antigens are suitable vaccine antigens. Acquisition and structure of the LEE pathogenicity island is the crucial point of numerous investigations. However, the evolution of the LEE, its origin and further spread in E. coli, are far from being resolved. 相似文献

Twenty-one Escherichia coli isolates of serogroup 078 from animal septicaemia were obtained from laboratories in France, England and Canada. The bacteria were compared for outer membrane protein (OMP) patterns, lipopolysaccharide patterns, surface proteins of fimbrial types, biotypes, antibiotypes, colicin production, hydroxamate production and virulence in mice. Sixteen isolates from bovine, ovine, porcine and avian species in France and England had a similar OMP pattern. This characteristic associated with minor properties like surface proteins type, colicin V production and virulence in mice made these 16,078 E. coli isolates from 4 animal species, good candidates for the same clonal grouping. The five other bovine isolates with "Vir" or "31a" phenotypes were heterogeneous for most of the characteristics studied. 相似文献

Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are employed by Gram-negative bacteria to deliver effector proteins into the cytoplasm of infected host cells. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli use a T3SS to deliver effector proteins that result in the creation of the attaching and effacing lesions. The genome sequence of the Escherichia coli pathotype O157:H7 revealed the existence of a gene cluster encoding components of a second type III secretion system, the E. coli type III secretion system 2 (ETT2). Researchers have revealed that, although ETT2 may not be a functional secretion system in most (or all) strains, it still plays an important role in bacterial virulence. This article summarizes current knowledge regarding the E. coli ETT2, including its genetic characteristics, prevalence, function, association with virulence, and prospects for future work. 相似文献

Antibodies to iron-regulated outer membrane proteins of coliform bacteria isolated from bovine intramammary infections 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Expression of iron-regulated outer membrane proteins (OMP) by Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae initially isolated from bovine intramammary infections (IMI) was investigated. Additionally, the presence of antibodies in bovine serum and mammary secretion directed against the iron-regulated OMP was examined. Outer membrane proteins were separated by sodium-dodecyl polyacrylamide electrophoresis. Detection of immunoglobulin G directed against OMP was by immunoblotting. All Gram-negative bacteria expressed iron-regulated OMP when grown in skim milk or trypticase soy broth plus iron chelator, alpha-alpha'-dipyridyl. Immunoglobulin G directed against the iron-regulated OMP, as well as the major OMP and several other proteins, was detected in serum and milk of lactating cows with or without Gram-negative bacterial IMI. Antibody against the iron-regulated OMP was detected also in colostrum, secretion from the involuted gland, and in newborn calf serum 4 days after ingesting colostrum. 相似文献

Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that cause characteristic host-restricted hemotropic infections in mammals and are typically transmitted by blood-sucking arthropods. In the mammalian reservoir, these bacteria initially infect a yet unrecognized primary niche, which seeds organisms into the blood stream leading to the establishment of a long-lasting intra-erythrocytic bacteremia as the hall-mark of infection. Bacterial type IV secretion systems, which are supra-molecular transporters ancestrally related to bacterial conjugation systems, represent crucial pathogenicity factors that have contributed to a radial expansion of the Bartonella lineage in nature by facilitating adaptation to unique mammalian hosts. On the molecular level, the type IV secretion system VirB/VirD4 is known to translocate a cocktail of different effector proteins into host cells, which subvert multiple cellular functions to the benefit of the infecting pathogen. Furthermore, bacterial adhesins mediate a critical, early step in the pathogenesis of the bartonellae by binding to extracellular matrix components of host cells, which leads to firm bacterial adhesion to the cell surface as a prerequisite for the efficient translocation of type IV secretion effector proteins. The best-studied adhesins in bartonellae are the orthologous trimeric autotransporter adhesins, BadA in Bartonella henselae and the Vomp family in Bartonella quintana. Genetic diversity and strain variability also appear to enhance the ability of bartonellae to invade not only specific reservoir hosts, but also accidental hosts, as shown for B. henselae. Bartonellae have been identified in many different blood-sucking arthropods, in which they are typically found to cause extracellular infections of the mid-gut epithelium. Adaptation to specific vectors and reservoirs seems to be a common strategy of bartonellae for transmission and host diversity. However, knowledge regarding arthropod specificity/restriction, the mode of transmission, and the bacterial factors involved in arthropod infection and transmission is still limited. 相似文献

The ompA genes encoding the 40 kDa major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydophila (Ch.) abortus, Ch. pecorum, and Chlamydia (C.) suis were cloned into the arabinose-inducible plasmid vector pBADMycHis, and recombinant MOMPs (rMOMP) from the three chlamydial species were expressed at high levels in Escherichia (E.) coli. The proteins lacking the 22 aa N-terminal signal peptide were expressed as insoluble cytoplasmic inclusion bodies which were readily purified using immobilized metal-affinity chromatography. The rMOMPs including the N-terminal signal peptide were expressed and translocated as a surface-exposed immunoaccessible protein into the outer membrane of E. coli. Transformants expressing this full-length rMOMP were significantly reduced in viability. Purified native elementary bodies (EB) and rMOMPs of the three chlamydial species purified from the E. coli cytoplasm were used for immunization of rabbits. The resulting sera were analysed for their ability to recognize homologous and heterologous rMOMP and native EB. When testing rMOMP antisera against rMOMP and EB antigens, marked cross-reactivities were detected between the three species. Using EB antisera and rMOMPs as antigens, a significant species-specific reactivity was measured. 相似文献
