Escherichia coli strains with nonimmune immunoglobulin-binding activity.
We have identified several strains of Escherichia coli which contain immunoglobulin-binding activity on the cell surface. Affinity-purified antibodies ordinarily used as secondary antibodies in immunodetection protocols were bound by 6 of 72 strains of the ECOR reference collection of E. coli. The Fc fragments of both human and sheep immunoglobulin G (IgG) were also bound, demonstrating the non...
متن کاملFour different genes responsible for nonimmune immunoglobulin-binding activities within a single strain of Escherichia coli.
Certain Escherichia coli strains bind the Fc fragment of immunoglobulin G (IgG) at the bacterial cell surface. Previous work established that this nonimmune Ig binding depends on several large proteins with apparent molecular masses that can exceed 200 kDa. For E. coli strain ECOR-9, four distinct genes (designated eibA, eibC, eibD, and eibE) are responsible for Ig binding. Two eib genes are li...
متن کاملEscherichia coli host strains.
To successfully perform molecular genetic techniques it is essential to have a full understanding of the properties of the various Escherichia coli host strains commonly used for the propagation and manipulation of recombinant DNA. E. coli is an enteric rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium with a circular genome of 4.6 Mb (1). It was originally chosen as a model system because of its ability to g...
متن کاملPenicillin-binding proteins of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains.
The penicillin-binding proteins of 11 pathogenic Escherichia coli strains, including enteropathogenic, enterotoxigenic, enteroinvasive, enteroaggregative, and enterohemorrhagic E. coli, were detected in gels following the labeling of isolated cell envelopes with [3H]benzylpenicillin. The electrophoretic profiles, sensitivities to and morphological changes induced by beta-lactam antibiotics show...
متن کاملAnimal Strains of Escherichia coli
One mechanism of plasmid-mediated resistance to gentamicin in Escherichia coli strains isolated from animals is due to the synthesis of the aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase type IV. A second mechanism of plasmid-mediated resistance to gentamicin was detected in animal strains of E. coli in France and is due to the production of the aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase type II. The molecular...
