ComEA Is Essential for the Transfer of External DNA into the Periplasm in Naturally Transformable Vibrio cholerae Cells
The DNA uptake of naturally competent bacteria has been attributed to the action of DNA uptake machineries resembling type IV pilus complexes. However, the protein(s) for pulling the DNA across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria remain speculative. Here we show that the competence protein ComEA binds incoming DNA in the periplasm of naturally competent Vibrio cholerae cells thereby pr...
متن کاملChemotaxis in Vibrio cholerae.
The ability of motile bacteria to swim toward or away from specific environmental stimuli, such as nutrients, oxygen, or light provides cells with a survival advantage, especially under nutrient-limiting conditions. This behavior, called chemotaxis, is mediated by the bacteria changing direction by briefly reversing the direction of rotation of the flagellar motors. A sophisticated signal trans...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae in New Zealand
Toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae, although not endemic in New Zealand, are isolated occasionally from recent overseas travellers. Isolates should be confirmed biochemically and serologically and the presence of cholera toxin genes established by a reference laboratory, as non-toxigenic strains are found here in the summer months. Serotypes O1 and O139 are the causative agents of epidemic ch...
متن کاملMultidrug resistance in Vibrio cholerae.
Cholera continues to be endemic in a large geographical tract covering a number of states in the eastern, western and southern parts of India. Even though V. cholerae non-01 has been reported from some parts of Delhi(l), V. cholerae-01 biotype Eltor continues to be the main etiological agent identified from Delhi(2). Rapid replacement of fluid and electrolyte using oral rehydration therapy or i...
متن کاملVibrio cholerae outbreak in Italy.
To the Editor: Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) heat-stable enterotoxin 1 (EAST1) was originally found as an enterotoxin of EaggEC (1). Recently, Yamamoto et al. (2) reported that the EAST1 gene, or its variants, were present not only in EAggEC but in other diarrheagenic E. coli, including some entero-pathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). Hedberg et al. (3) fo...
