• W2155446460 abstract "Type 1 fimbriae, expressed by most Escherichia coli strains, are thought to attach to human uroepithelium as an initial step in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections (UTI). Numerous reports using both in vitro and murine models support this role for type 1 fimbriae in colonization. Unfortunately, only a limited number of studies have directly examined the expression of fimbriae in vivo. To determine whether type 1 fimbrial genes are transcribed during an acute UTI, we employed a modification of an established method. The orientation (ON or OFF) of the invertible promoter element, which drives transcription of type 1 fimbrial genes, was determined by PCR amplification using primers that flank the invertible element, followed by SnaBI digestion. The orientation of the type 1 fimbrial switch was determined under three experimental conditions. First, E. coli strains from different clinical sources (acute pyelonephritis patients, cystitis patients, and fecal controls) were tested under different in vitro culture conditions (agar versus broth; aerated versus static). The genes in the more-virulent strains (those causing acute pyelonephritis) demonstrated a resistance, in aerated broth, to switching from OFF to ON, while those in fecal strains readily switched from OFF to ON. Second, bladder and kidney tissue from CBA mice transurethrally inoculated with E. coli CFT073 (an established murine model of ascending UTI) was assayed. The switches directly amplified from infected bladder and kidney tissues were estimated to be 33 and 39% ON, respectively, by using a standard curve. Finally, bacteria present in urine samples collected from women with cystitis were tested for type 1 fimbria switch orientation. For all 11 cases, an average of only 4% of the switches in the bacteria in the urine were ON. In 7 of the 11 cases, we found that all of the visible type 1 fimbrial switches were in the OFF position (upper limit of detection of assay, 98% OFF). Strains recovered from these urine samples, however, were shown after culture in vitro to be capable of switching the fimbrial gene to the ON position and expressing mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin. The results from experimental infections and cases of cystitis in women suggest that type 1 fimbrial genes are transcribed both in the bladder and in the kidney. However, those bacteria found in the urine and not attached to the uroepithelium are not transcriptionally active for type 1 fimbrial genes." @default.
