The Flagella of an Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain Are Required for Efficient Interaction with and Stimulation of Interleukin-8 Production by Enterocytes In Vitro

Abstract: The ability of some typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains to adhere to, invade, and increase interleukin-8 (IL-8) production in intestinal epithelial cells in vitro has been demonstrated. However, few studies regarding these aspects have been performed with atypical EPEC (aEPEC) strains, which are emerging enteropathogens in Brazil. In this study, we evaluated a selected aEPEC strain (1711-4) of serotype O51:H40, the most prevalent aEPEC serotype in Brazil, in regard to its ability to adhere… Show more

“…The flagellum of aEPEC plays a role in adhesion and in the aEPEC-induced early, but not late, IL-8 production in fully differentiated Caco-2 cells (488,782). aEPEC adhering to fully differentiated, mucin-secreting HT29-MTX cells induces mucus hypersecretion, whereas tEPEC does not (783).…”

“…Zeo-resistant clones that were unable to grow in Apra-containing medium were selected and stored at Ϫ80°C. Homologous recombination events were confirmed by PCR with primers flanking the fliD gene (fliD.verifF-5=/fliD.verifR-3=) ( Table 2) (22).…”

“…The mutants and wild-type strains were assayed for motility as previously described by Sampaio et al (22). Motility was demonstrated by bacterial spreading around the initial inoculum, as evidenced by increased turbidity.…”
