    Shiga-like toxin-converting phages from Escherichia coli strains that cause hemorrhagic colitis or infantile diarrhea (1984)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1984-11-09
    Description: Escherichia coli K-12 acquired the ability to produce a high titer of Shiga-like toxin after lysogenization by either of two different bacteriophages isolated from a highly toxinogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain that causes hemorrhagic colitis. One of these phages and another Shiga-like toxin-converting phage from an Escherichia coli O26 isolate associated with infantile diarrhea were closely related in terms of morphology, virion polypeptides, DNA restriction fragments, lysogenic immunity, and heat stability, although a difference in host range was noted. These phages are currently the best-characterized representatives from a broader family of Shiga-like toxin-converting phages.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉O'Brien, A D -- Newland, J W -- Miller, S F -- Holmes, R K -- Smith, H W -- Formal, S B -- AI20148-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Nov 9;226(4675):694-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6387911" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    An O antigen can interfere with the function of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis invasin protein (1991)

    Notes: Escherichia coli strains harbouring the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis inv gene are able to enter cultured mammalial cells. We show here that this property is not shared by all enteric bacteria, since Shigella flexneri 2a cured of its virulence-associated plasmid and harbouring the inv gene is unable to enter mammalian cells efficiently. Mapping studies showed that the region of the chromosome responsible for this phenotype includes rfaB, a locus involved in the production of O antigen. S. flexneri 2a strains that express O antigen were unable to enter mammalian cells, even though invasin was efficiently expressed and localized, showing that this structure interferes with invasin activity. The O antigen either masks invasin or sterically hinders the ability of the mammalian cell receptor to bind this protein.
