OBJECTIVE To study the role of gspL gene in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli. METHODS The gspL mutant of Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) was constructed by homologous recombination assay. The growth characteristics, the ability of adhesion and invasion to DF1 cells, the virulence genes transcription level and median lethal dose (LD50) were analyzed between the gspL mutant strain and the wild strain. RESULTS Compared with the wild strain, the mutant strain had no significant difference in the growth status. However, its ability of adhesion and invasion was significantly lower. The transcription of genes pfs, fyuA, iss and vat increased obviously, the tsh decreased and the transcription level of luxS, ibeA, stx2f and ompA had no significant change. LD50 showed that the gspL mutant strain had 12-fold increase in virulence. CONCLUSIONS The deletion of gspL gene could abate the ability of adhesion and invasion, regulate and control some virulence gene transcription level, enhance the virulence of APEC. The results show that the gspL gene play roles in pathogenicity of APEC.

Disease, Poultry,Diseases, Poultry,Poultry Disease
D002645 Chickens Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA. Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D004372 Ducks A water bird in the order Anseriformes (subfamily Anatinae (true ducks)) with a broad blunt bill, short legs, webbed feet, and a waddling gait. Duck
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

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014774 Virulence The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS. Pathogenicity
D017353 Gene Deletion A genetic rearrangement through loss of segments of DNA or RNA, bringing sequences which are normally separated into close proximity. This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus. Deletion, Gene,Deletions, Gene,Gene Deletions
