Characterization of complement factor H binding to Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3.
A number of bacteria bind factor H (FH), the negative regulator of the alternative complement pathway, to avoid complement-mediated killing. Here we show that a gram-negative enteric pathogen, Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3, uses two virulence-related outer membrane (OM) proteins to bind FH. With Y. enterocolitica O:3 mutant strains displaying different combinations of surface factors rel...
متن کاملPathogenicity of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O3 biotype 3 strains.
It is known that Yersinia enterocolitica infection in Japan is caused mainly by serotype O3 biotype 4 strains. Recently, however, a number of serotype O3 strains which were classified biotype 3 and which ferment lactose and xylose, instead of sorbose, and give a negative Voges-Proskauer reaction have been isolated from both humans and animals. In this study, comparisons of four properties were ...
متن کاملTemperature-modulated immunogenicity to Yersinia pestis from Yersinia enterocolitica O3.
The ability of Yersinia enterocolitica O3, grown at 25 degrees C, to promote cross-immunity to Y. pestis was lost after repeated subcultures at 37 degrees C, which selected for bacterial populations having lower in vivo survival. Subculturing Y. enterocolitica O3 from 37 to 25 degrees C restored the cross-immunogenicity although the in vivo survival remained low.
متن کاملSerotype-related HEp-2 cell interaction of Yersinia enterocolitica.
The ability of human clinical isolates of Yersinia enterocolitica to interact with HEp-2 cells was found to vary considerably between the serotypes O:3, O:8, and O:9. Although all three serotypes adhered initially to the cell surface, regardless of incubation temperature of the bacterial inoculum or presence of the 40- to 48-megadalton virulence plasmid, the ability to localize intracellularly ...
متن کاملFirst isolation of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:8 in Japan.
A 4-year-old Japanese boy was infected with Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:8, H:befiv, biotype 1B, phage type Xz, restriction endonuclease analysis of plasmid DNA type B, restriction endonuclease analysis of chromosomal DNA type 8. He presented with acute gastroenteritis with elevated body temperature (40 degrees C), rigor, and shivers. The diagnosis was septicemia. This is apparently the f...
