We have isolated the structural gene for an outer membrane protein of Salmonella typhi, from a genomic library constructed in bacteriophage lambda 1059, using the Escherichia coli ompC gene as a heterologous probe. E. coli ompC codes for an outer membrane pore protein (porin) that is induced preferentially at high osmolarity and high temperature. The S. typhi ompC-like gene was subcloned in pBR322 and introduced into E. coli HB101 and into P678-54, a minicell-producing strain. In both strains it expressed a 38.5-kDa protein, which was incorporated into the outer membrane envelope and comigrated with an S. typhi outer membrane protein which was expressed both at low and high osmolarity in vivo.

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
