Journal ArticleDOI
Mannose binding and epithelial cell adherence of Escherichia coli.
I Ofek,Edwin H. Beachey +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the binding activity of a mannose-specific lectin on the surface of E. coli can be quantitated directly on intact organisms, and the observed variations in the amount of mannosed-binding activity among human isolates accounts for the variation in adherence of the organisms toMannose residues on epithelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epithelial cell binding of group A streptococci by lipoteichoic acid on fimbriae denuded of M protein.
Edwin H. Beachey,Itzhak Ofek +1 more
TL;DR: It is apparent that the determinants of streptococcal fimbriae involved in resistance to phagocytosis can be dissociated from those involved in epithelial cell binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of clinically significant strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci
TL;DR: The validity of the conclusion that the same strain was reisolated from the patient, indicating its persistent and pathological presence was examined when a number of characterizing systems were applied to a collection of 143 isolates of coagulase-negative staphylococci collected during an outbreak of intravascular catheter-associated sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation of the D-mannose-adhesion protein among type 1 fimbriated members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
TL;DR: An even broader conservation of this minor adhesion protein extending to other genera and species of type 1 fimbriated Enterobacteriaceae is reported, which may have implications for the development of broadly protective vaccines against Gram-negative bacillary infections in animals and perhaps in man.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epitopes of streptococcal M proteins shared with cardiac myosin.
James B. Dale,Edwin H. Beachey +1 more
TL;DR: Sera from patients with acute rheumatic fever showed significantly stronger reactions with myosin than did sera from their siblings, hospitalized controls, or patients with poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
