The O6 serogroup Escherichia coli strain 536 carries two hemolysin (hly) determinants integrated into the chromosome. The two hly determinants are not completely identical, either functionally or structurally, as demonstrated by spontaneous deletion mutants carrying only one of them and by cloning each of the two determinants separately into cosmid vectors. Each hly determinant is independently...
Bacterial pathogens produce a variety of exotoxins, which often become associated with the bacterial outer membrane component lipopolysaccharide (LPS) during their secretion. LPS is a potent proinflammatory mediator; however, it is not known whether LPS contributes to cell signaling induced by those microbial components to which it is attached. This is partly due to the common view that LPS pre...
The haemolysin from enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC-Hly) and the serine protease EspPα are putative virulence factors of EHEC. We investigated the interplay between these secreted factors and demonstrate that EspPα cleaves the 107 kDa large EHEC-Hly. Degradation was observed when purified EspPα was added to a growing culture of an EHEC-Hly-expressing strain, with isolated proteins and...
We investigated the role of bacterial adherence and hemolysin production from Escherichia coli parent and genetically cloned strains as to their effects on histamine release from rat mast cells and leukotriene generation from human polymorphonuclear granulocytes. These mediators were involved in the induction of inflammatory disease processes and led, for example, to enhancement of vascular per...
The virulence of the uropathogenic E. coli strain 536 (O6:K15:H31) which produces the S-fimbrial adhesin (Sfa+), is serum-resistant (Sre+) and hemolytic (Hly+) and its derivatives were assessed in five different animal models. Cloned hemolysin (hly) determinants from the chromosomes of O6, O18 and O75 E. coli strains and from the plasmid pHly152 were introduced into the spontaneous Sfa-, Sre-, ...
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The objective of this paper is to provide analytical research that supported the European Commission in setting the global target of additional two healthy life years (HLY) at birth by 2020 in the EU on average, within the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (the EIP on AHA). It produces a straightforward analysis of HLY projections that helped ...
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are the causal agents of whooping cough in humans. They produce diverse virulence factors, including adenylate cyclase-hemolysin (AC-Hly), a secreted toxin of the repeat in toxins (RTX) family with cyclase, pore-forming, and hemolytic activities. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential for the biological activities of the toxin pro...
Previously, the 126-kDa Bordetella pertussis CyaA pore-forming/hemolysin (CyaA-Hly) domain was shown to retain its hemolytic activity causing lysis of susceptible erythrocytes. Here, we have succeeded in producing, at large quantity and high purity, the His-tagged CyaA-Hly domain over-expressed in Escherichia coli as a soluble hemolytically-active form. Quantitative assays of hemolysis against ...
We characterized 100 Escherichia coli urosepsis isolates from adult patients according to host compromise status by means of ribotyping, PCR phylogenetic grouping, and PCR detection of papG alleles and the virulence-related genes sfa/foc, fyuA, irp-2, aer, hly, cnf-1 and hra. We also tested these strains for copies of pap and hly and their direct physical linkage with other virulence genes in a...
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains cause diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome resulting from toxin-mediated microvascular endothelial injury. EHEC hemolysin (EHEC-Hly), a member of the RTX (repeats-in-toxin) family, is an EHEC virulence factor of increasingly recognized importance. The toxin exists as free EHEC-Hly and as EHEC-Hly associated with outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) ...
