Mode of action of colicins of types E1, E2, E3, and K. 1968

P Reeves

The effect of colicins on deoxyribonucleic acid and protein synthesis, and also their effect on the ability of T4 phage to replicate in Escherichia coli K-12, were studied. Colicins of type K inhibited deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and phage growth. Among colicins of type E, there was an absolute correlation between mode of action and subdivision into types E(1), E(2), and E(3).

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
