Test for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli using Y-1 adrenal cells in miniculture.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rapid, potentially clinically useful test for detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is described. Whole bacterial cultures of enterotoxigenic E. coli, when briefly exposed to Y1 adrenal cells in tissue miniculture, effect a rounding response in the tissue culture that can be discerned at 18 to 24 h. The tissue culture technique agreed with the rabbit ileal loop in all 58 enterotoxigenic and 52 non-enterotoxigenic E. coli strains tested.

Shiga-Like Toxin I and II Genes in Escherichia coli Isolated from Natural Waters
A triplex PCR method was developed to simultaneously amplify a heat-labile toxin sequence (LT) of 258 bp, a shiga-like toxin I sequence (SLT I) of 130 bp, and a shiga-like toxin II sequence (SLT II) of 346 bp from toxigenic strains of Escherichia coli. This method was used to screen 377 environmental E. coli isolates from marine waters or estuaries located in Southern California and North Carol...

The DNA hybridization assay for genes encoding for Escherichia coli enterotoxins was used to examine water specimens in Thailand. In a reconstruction experiment, the DNA hybridization assay was 10(4) times more sensitive than testing random E. coli in the Y-1 adrenal and suckling mouse assays in identifying enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) in water. Drinking and bathing water collected from 2 of ...

متن کاملImmunogenicity of a Fusion Protein Comprising Coli Surface Antigen 3 and Labile B Subunit of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Background: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are the major causes of diarrheal disease in humans and animals. Colonization factors and enterotoxins are the major virulence factors in ETEC pathogenesis. For the broad-spectrum protection against ETEC, one could focus on colonization factors and non-toxic heat labile as a vaccine candidate. Methods: A fusion protein is composed of a...
متن کاملEnterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection induces tight junction proteins expression in mice
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) causes diarrhea in travelers, young children and piglets, but the precise pathogenesis of ETEC induced diarrhea is not fully known. Recent investigations have shown that tight junction (TJ) proteins and aquaporin 3 (AQP 3) are contributing factors in bacterial diarrhea. In this study, using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry analyses, we found that E...
