Expression of E.coli capsular polysaccharide requires the KfiB protein:A Structural based analysis
Abstract Background and objectives: important virulence factor for many invasive bacterial pathogens of humans. Escherichia coli offer a model system to study the mechanisms by which capsular polysaccharides are synthesized and exported onto the cell surface of bacteria. Biosynthesis of the E consists of the repeat structure -4) GlcA- (1, 4)-GlcNAc- (1-, requires the KfiA,...
متن کاملRmpA regulation of capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43.
Sequence analysis of the large virulence plasmid pLVPK in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43 revealed the presence of another mucoid factor encoding gene rmpA besides rmpA2. Promoter activity measurement indicated that the deletion of rmpA reduced K2 capsular polysaccharide (CPS) biosynthesis, resulting in decreased colony mucoidy and virulence in mice. Introduction of a multicopy plasmid carrying rmpA...
متن کاملAnti-Biofilm Activity: A Function of Klebsiella pneumoniae Capsular Polysaccharide
Competition and cooperation phenomena occur within highly interactive biofilm communities and several non-biocides molecules produced by microorganisms have been described as impairing biofilm formation. In this study, we investigated the anti-biofilm capacities of an ubiquitous and biofilm producing bacterium, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Cell-free supernatant from K. pneumoniae planktonic cultures ...
متن کاملExperimental Klebsiella pneumoniae burn wound sepsis: role of capsular polysaccharide.
The role of Klebsiella pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide in relation to virulence in a murine burn wound sepsis model was investigated. Burn trauma markedly predisposed mice to lethal K. pneumoniae sepsis. A highly encapsulated variant (KP1-O) derived from K. pneumoniae KP1 was found to be extremely virulent for burned mice (50% lethal dose less than 10 organisms), whereas another variant (KP1...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of capsular polysaccharide synthesis gene clusters in 79 capsular types of Klebsiella spp
A total of 79 capsular types have been reported in Klebsiella spp., whereas capsular polysaccharide synthesis (cps) regions were available in only 22 types. Due to the limitations of serotyping, complete repertoire of cps will be helpful for capsular genotyping. We therefore resolved the rest 57 cps and conducted comparative analysis. Clustering results of 1,515 predicted proteins from cps loci...
