Strains of enterobacteria that cause urinary tract infections are able to grow in urine with high tonicity. In such conditions bacterias adapt to osmotic forces by incorporation of osmoprotectant compounds including glycine betaine. Accumulation of toxic analogues in bacteria, using inducible betaine transporters, has been previously proposed for development of antibiotics. In this study we report antibacterial effect of two analogues against 82 strains of Escherichia coli isolated form urinary tract infections. Minimal inhibitory concentrations have been measured with and without osmotic stress. The betaine analogues have antibacterial effect against E. coli strains, but only in presence of an osmotic stress.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D001622 Betaine A naturally occurring compound that has been of interest for its role in osmoregulation. As a drug, betaine hydrochloride has been used as a source of hydrochloric acid in the treatment of hypochlorhydria. Betaine has also been used in the treatment of liver disorders, for hyperkalemia, for homocystinuria, and for gastrointestinal disturbances.
