Journal ArticleDOI

Flagella help Salmonella typhimurium survive within murine macrophages.

Debra L. Weinstein, +3 more
- 01 Dec 1984 - 
TL;DR: Results indicate that flagella either protect S. typhimurium from the intracellular killing mechanisms of murine macrophages or thatFlagella enhance the ability of S. Typhimurial to multiply within murine Macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytotoxic necrotizing factor type 1-positive Escherichia coli causes increased inflammation and tissue damage to the prostate in a rat prostatitis model.

Karen E. Rippere-Lampe, +6 more
- 01 Oct 2001 - 
TL;DR: The results of this study provide the first demonstration of a role for any uropathogenic E.coli virulence factor in acute prostatitis and conclude that CNF1 contributes to E. coli virulence in a model of acute prost atitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth of Escherichia coli in the presence of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole facilitates detection of Shiga-like toxin producing strains by colony blot assay

Helge Karch, +2 more
- 01 Jul 1986 - 
TL;DR: Subinhibitory concentrations of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole increased the total yield of Shiga-like toxin (SLT), produced by Shigella dysenteria 1 and by enterophathogenic and enterohemorrhagic strains of Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 adherence characteristics and invasion potential reveals a new attachment pattern shared by intestinal E. coli.

Marian L. McKee, +1 more
- 01 May 1995 - 
TL;DR: The log jam phenotype may represent a basal means by which E. coli bacteria attach to the human intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overview and Historical Perspectives

James B. Kaper, +1 more
- 21 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: An overview of the history of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in two phases is described and the basis for the review of current information regarding these fascinating and complex pathogens is provided.
