Examination of Campylobacter jejuni Putative Adhesins Leads to the Identification of a New Protein, Designated FlpA, Required for Chicken Colonization

Abstract: Campylobacter jejuni colonization of chickens is presumably dependent upon multiple surface-exposed proteins termed adhesins. Putative C. jejuni adhesins include CadF, CapA, JlpA, major outer membrane protein, PEB1, Cj1279c, and Cj1349c. We examined the genetic relatedness of 97 C. jejuni isolates recovered from human, poultry, bovine, porcine, ovine, and canine sources by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and examined their profile of putative adhesin-encoding genes by dot blot hybridization. To assess the in… Show more

“…Purified JlpA inhibited adherence of C. jejuni to HEp-2 cells confirming the role of the former as an adhesin [23]. However, inactivation of jlpA gene did not affect the ability of C. jejuni to bind to chicken LMH cells or to colonise broiler chickens [17], and also did not reduce attachment to human T84 human colonic adenocarcinoma cell [24] suggesting that only certain host cells are able to produce receptors for this adhesin.…”

“…Disruption of the flpA gene impairs bacterial ability to adhere to chicken LMH hepatocellular carcinoma epithelial cells and to human INT 407 cells, and reduces bacterial ability to colonise chickens [17]. In addition, bacterial binding to host cells was inhibited by anti-FlpA specific antiserum in a dose-dependent way [18].…”
