- W2021197812 abstract "ABSTRACT Attachment to the intestinal mucosa is an essential step in the pathogenesis of diarrhea caused by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). Fimbriae and intimin, the outer membrane protein product of the chromosomal eae gene, contribute to this process, but their relative roles and the nature of their interaction are not known. The aim of this study was to determine the relative contribution of plasmid-encoded fimbriae, termed Ral, and intimin to the capacity of rabbit-specific EPEC (REPEC) to attach to the intestinal mucosa of rabbits. To achieve this, we constructed a series of mutants in REPEC strain 83/39 (O15:H−), in which the ralE and eae genes were insertionally inactivated. These strains were then inoculated into ligated loops of rabbit ileum, which were resected 18 h later and examined by light and electron microscopy. The results showed that intimin, but not Ral, is essential for the elicitation of attaching-effacing lesions by REPEC. Nevertheless, a Δ eae Ral-bearing mutant adhered to the intestinal epithelium to the same extent as its eae -positive parent and far more extensively than an eae + Δral strain. To examine the contribution of Ral and intimin to colonization of rabbit intestine, we fed these strains to weanling rabbits, which were killed 4 days later, so that the number of bacteria in various regions of the intestine could be determined. The results indicated that strain 83/39 requires both Ral and intimin to colonize the intestine successfully and that a Δ eae ΔralE double mutant was incapable of colonizing the intestine. Taken together, these findings indicate that Ral and intimin act independently as adhesion factors of REPEC strain 83/39 and that this strain carries no other significant colonization factor. When both Ral and intimin are present, they appear to act cooperatively, with Ral-mediated adhesion preceding that mediated by intimin." @default.
