Role of Capsule and O Antigen in the Virulence of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections in humans, with uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) the leading causative organism. UPEC has a number of virulence factors that enable it to overcome host defenses within the urinary tract and establish infection. The O antigen and the capsular polysaccharide are two such factors that provide a survival advantage to ...
متن کاملZinc oxide nanoparticle reduced biofilm formation and antigen 43 expressions in uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Objective(s): This study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-np) on biofilm formation and expression of the flu gene in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains. Materials and Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ZnO-np was determined by agar dilution method. The effect of MIC and sub-MIC concentrations of ZnO-np on biofilm formation were determin...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...
متن کاملColicin E2 Expression in Lactobacillus brevis DT24, A Vaginal Probiotic Isolate, against Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Novel therapeutic approaches are needed to combat the urinary tract infection in women. During menstruation elevated protein concentration and increase in oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations with decrease in vaginal Lactobacilli all together contribute to urinary tract infections. Lactobacillus species are a predominant member of the vaginal microflora and are critical in the prevention of...
متن کاملProduction of MAG1 Antigen of Toxoplasma gondii in Escherichia coli
Introduction : Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii it leads to serious medical problems in congenitally-infected and immunocompromised individuals, while it is quite harmless in immunocompetent individuals. Toxoplasma tissue cyst matrix protein (MAG1) induces early humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Previous studies suggested recombinant M...
