  10. Biochemical and Immunological Evaluation of Recombinant CS6-Derived Subunit Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Vaccine Candidates [Microbial Immunity and Vaccines]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • CS6, a prevalent surface antigen expressed in nearly 20% of clinical enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolates, is comprised of two major subunit proteins, CssA and CssB. Using donor strand complementation, we constructed a panel of recombinant proteins of 1 to 3 subunits that contained combinations of CssA and/or CssB subunits and a donor strand, a C-terminal extension of 16 amino acids that was derived from the N terminus of either CssA or CssB.

  11. Indole Inhibits ToxR Regulon Expression in Vibrio cholerae [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Indole is a degradation product of tryptophan that functions as a signaling molecule in many bacteria. This includes Vibrio cholerae, where indole was shown to regulate biofilm and type VI secretion in nontoxigenic environmental isolates. Indole is also produced by toxigenic V. cholerae strains in the human intestine, but its significance in the host is unknown. We investigated the effects of indole on toxigenic V. cholerae O1 El Tor during growth under virulence inducing conditions.

  12. CitAB Two-Component System-Regulated Citrate Utilization Contributes to Vibrio cholerae Competitiveness with the Gut Microbiota [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Citrate is a ubiquitous compound and can be utilized by many bacterial species, including enteric pathogens, as a carbon and energy source. Genes involved in citrate utilization have been extensively studied in some enteric bacteria, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae; however, their role in pathogenesis is still not clear. In this study, we investigated citrate utilization and regulation in Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera. The putative anaerobic citrate fermentation genes in V.

  13. Vibrio parahaemolyticus VopA Is a Potent Inhibitor of Cell Migration and Apoptosis in the Intestinal Epithelium of Drosophila melanogaster [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Animal models have played a key role in providing an understanding of the mechanisms that govern the pathophysiology of intestinal diseases. To expand on the repertoire of organisms available to study enteric diseases, we report on the use of the Drosophila melanogaster model to identify a novel function of an effector protein secreted by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which is an enteric pathogen found in contaminated seafood. During pathogenesis, V.
