Pathogenic Serotypes

The properties of glycine-induced spheroplasts of six pathogenic serotypes of E. coli were investigated. Fimbriae and flagella appeared to be only partially synthesized as was the somatic O antigen. Cytopathogenicity of these spheroplasts for tissue culture was reduced and the infection of the monolayers was retarded as compared with the normal bacillary forms. Sensitivity to phage was almost completely lost, suggesting that glycine had either interfered with the synthesis of phage receptors or had altered the mucopeptide layerwhich is the substrate for phage enzymes. Alternatively, the phage may become a prophage inside the spheroplast with the loss of virulence.

Intestinal Persistence

Resident and transient Escherichia coli strains were identified in the rectal flora of 22 Pakistani infants followed from birth to 6 months of age. All strains were tested for O-antigen expression, adhesin specificity (P fimbriae, other mannose-resistant adhesins or type 1 fimbriae) and adherence to the colonic cell line HT-29. Resident strains displayed higher mannose- resistant adherence to HT-29 cells, and expressed P fimbriae (P=0·0036) as well as other mannose-resistant adhesins (P=0·012) more often than transient strains. In strains acquired during the first month of life, P fimbriae were 12 times more frequent in resident than in transient strains (P=0·0006). The O-antigen distribution did not differ between resident and transient strains, and none of the resident P-fimbriated strains belonged to previously recognized uropathogenic clones. The results suggest that adhesins mediating adherence to intestinal epithelial cells, especially P fimbriae, enhance the persistence of E. coli in the large intestine of infants.
