The sfaI determinant encoding the S-fimbrial adhesin of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains was found to be located on a pathogenicity island of uropathogenic E. coli strain 536. This...

Genetic Structure and Distribution of Four Pathogenicity Islands (PAI I536 to PAI IV536) of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain 536

Dobrindt, Ulrich, Blum-Oehler, Gabriele, Nagy, Gabor, Schneider, György, Johann, André, Gottschalk, Gerhard, ...

For the uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 (O6:K15:H31), the DNA sequences of three pathogenicity islands (PAIs) (PAI I536 to PAI III536) and their flanking regions (about 270 kb) were...

A Single Nucleotide Exchange in the wzy Gene Is Responsible for the Semirough O6 Lipopolysaccharide Phenotype and Serum Sensitivity of Escherichia coli Strain Nissle 1917

Grozdanov, Lubomir, Zähringer, Ulrich, Blum-Oehler, Gabriele, Brade, Lore, Henne, Anke, Knirel, Yuriy A., ...

Structural analysis of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from semirough, serum-sensitive Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 (DSM 6601, serotype O6:K5:H1) revealed that this strain's LPS contains a...

Instability of Pathogenicity Islands in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli 536

Middendorf, Barbara, Hochhut, Bianca, Leipold, Kristina, Dobrindt, Ulrich, Blum-Oehler, Gabriele, Hacker, Jörg

The uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 carries at least five genetic elements on its chromosome that meet all criteria characteristic of pathogenicity islands (PAIs). One main feature of these...

The Pathogenicity Island-Associated K15 Capsule Determinant Exhibits a Novel Genetic Structure and Correlates with Virulence in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain 536

Schneider, György, Dobrindt, Ulrich, Brüggemann, Holger, Nagy, Gábor, Janke, Britta, Blum-Oehler, Gabriele, ...

The K15 capsule determinant of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strain 536 (O6:K15:H31) is part of a novel 79.6-kb pathogenicity island (PAI) designated PAI V536 that is absent from the genome of...
