Role of ionic strength in colicin K adsorption. 1977

D Cavard

The rate of colicin K adsorption to Escherichia coli, and consequent death of the bacteria, is progressively inhibited with increasing ionic strength of the medium. Comparison of the kinetics of colicin adsorption with the kinetics of colicin killing suggests that the lethal event provoked by colicin occurs soon after irreversible colicin adsorption. Factors, such as salts, which protect bacteria against the lethal action of colicin act by preventing colicin adsorption.

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
