E-mail: ishigurofubito@fklab. fukui.fukui.jp In Japan, the first outbreak of gastroenteritis caused by a strain of Escherichia coli having a coding gene for enteroaggregative E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin 1 (astA) occurred in Osaka Prefecture i...
متن کاملStructural Characterisation of the E. coli Heat Stable Enterotoxin STh
E. coli heat stable enterotoxin STa is an agonist of the membrane guanylate cyclase C whose endogenous ligands are the peptide hormones guanylin and uroguanylin. Whereas these peptides contain only two disulfide bonds, STa is stabilized by one additional disulfide bridge. We chemically synthesized the enterotoxin STh that originates from the E. coli strain found in humans, and we determined its...
متن کاملDiarrheagenic Escherichia coli isolated from stools of sporadic cases of diarrheal illness in Osaka City, Japan between 1997 and 2000: prevalence of enteroaggregative E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin 1 gene-possessing E. coli.
Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) represents an elusive target, since they are not easily distinguished from fecal coliforms. To clarify if DEC are prevalent among sporadic cases of diarrheal illness in Osaka City, Japan, diarrheal specimens were examined for E. coli that were enterohemorrhagic (EHEC), enteropathogenic (EPEC), enterotoxigenic (ETEC), enteroinvasive (EIEC), or enteroaggregati...
متن کاملAtypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains: phenotypic and genetic profiling reveals a strong association between enteroaggregative E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin and diarrhea.
The virulence profiles of most atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains are unknown. A total of 118 typical and atypical strains of EPEC serotypes and non-EPEC serogroups isolated from children with or without acute diarrhea who were from different cities in Brazil were examined for virulence-associated markers and adherence to HEp-2 cells, and also had random amplified polymor...
متن کاملSelective targeting of E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin analogs to human colon cancer cells.
BACKGROUND Radiolabeled analogs of the E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin (ST(h)) are currently under study as imaging and therapeutic agents for colorectal cancer. The aim of these studies is to compare in vitro and in vivo characteristics of two novel ST(h) analogs with appended DOTA chelating moieties. MATERIALS AND METHODS ST(h) analogs were synthesized with pendant N-terminal DOTA moieties ...
