01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
Virulence Factors
• Two types of virulence factors in
E.coli
• Surface antigens and Toxins
• The somatic lipopolysaccharide
surface O antigen has endotoxic
activity and protects from
phagocytosis and bactericidal effects
of complement .
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
Determinants of pathogenicity
• Enterotoxins (ETEC)
– Heat-labile toxins (LT-I, LT-II)
– Heat-stable toxins (ST)
• Hemolysins – from enterohemorrhagic
(verotoxin-producing) E. Coli
 most virulent uropathogenic strains of E. coli
• Antiphagocytic capsule – from K1 strain of E.
Coli (80% of neonatal meningitis)
Fimbriae
• Fimbriae also promote virulence
• Present in large numbers causing
mannose sensitive Haemagglutination
• Colonisation factor antigens is
enterotoxigenic E.coli
• E.coli produce two kinds of Exotoxins
hemolysins and enterotoxins
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 25
Toxins
and E.coli
• E.coli produce Exotoxins
• Hemolysins, Enterotoxins causes
Diarrheas,
• Important toxins produces.
• Heat labile HL Heat stable HS
Vero toxins VT Like Shigella
toxins01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 26
Toxins
• Enterotoxins – produced by
enterotoxigenic strains of E. coli
(ETEC). Causes a movement of
water and ions from the tissues to
the bowel resulting in watery
diarrhea. There are two types of
enterotoxin:
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 27
Toxins
• LT – is heat labile and binds to
specific Gm1 gangliosides on the
epithelial cells of the small
intestine where it ADP-ribosylates
Gs which stimulates adenylate
cyclase to increase production of
cAMP.
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 28
Toxins
• Increased cAMP alters the
activity of sodium and
chloride transporters
producing an ion imbalance
that results in fluid transport
into the bowel.
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 29
Toxins in E.coli
• Produce Enterotoxin L T and S T
• Labile toxin 1956 De experiments in
Rabbit ileal loop causes outpouring of
fluids
• E.coli Labile toxin like Cholera toxin
• L T contains component A and B
• A = Active B= Binding
• B causes Binding with Gm I Ganglioside
receptor on Intestinal epithelial cells
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 30
E. coli toxins
• Both enterotoxins
are composed of
five beta subunits
(for binding) and
1 alpha subunit
(has the toxic
enzymatic
activity).
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 31
Toxins E.coli
Labile toxin
• Component A Activated to A1 and A2
• A1 Activates adenyl cyclase in the
enterocytes to form cyclic adenosine
5 monophosphate
• Causes to increase outflow of water
and electrolytes in the gut lumen
causes Diarrhea
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 32
Toxins of E.coli
Stable Toxin
• ST A and ST B
• ST A Acts by activation of Cyclic
guano sine monophosphate.( C GMP )
• Causes fluid accumulation in Intestine.
• E.coli ( Some ) produce
Verocytotoxin causes cytotoxicity
to Vero cells.
• Acts like Shigella dysentery toxin
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 33
E. coli infections
• Neonatal meningitis – is the leading cause of
neonatal meningitis and septicemia with a high
mortality rate.
– Usually caused by strains with the K1 capsular antigen.

characteristic renal lesion is capillary
micro angiopathy
• The typical EHEC serotype is 0 157 ; H7
• The disease may manifest as food
poisoning
• Occurs due to contamination of feces of
humans or animals
01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 49
Enterohemorrhagic E.coli can
cause HUS
• HUS develops when the toxin from E. coli
bacteria, known as Shiga-like toxin (SLT)
enters the circulation by binding to
special receptors. These Shiga-toxin
receptors, known as Gb3 receptors , are
probably heterogeneously distributed in the
major body organs allowing disparate
thrombotic (blood clotting) impacts in different
HUS victims, although the greatest receptor
concentration appears to be in the kidneys,
especially in children.

  • 22. E.coli Antigenic Structure • Somatic 0 170 • Capsular K 100 • Flagella H 75 • Virulence factors Surface Antigens Toxins O Endotoxic activity K protects against the phagocytosis Fimbriae promote virulence ( important in UTI ) 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
  • 23. Virulence Factors • Two types of virulence factors in E.coli • Surface antigens and Toxins • The somatic lipopolysaccharide surface O antigen has endotoxic activity and protects from phagocytosis and bactericidal effects of complement . 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
  • 24. Determinants of pathogenicity • Enterotoxins (ETEC) – Heat-labile toxins (LT-I, LT-II) – Heat-stable toxins (ST) • Hemolysins – from enterohemorrhagic (verotoxin-producing) E. Coli  most virulent uropathogenic strains of E. coli • Antiphagocytic capsule – from K1 strain of E. Coli (80% of neonatal meningitis)
  • 25. Fimbriae • Fimbriae also promote virulence • Present in large numbers causing mannose sensitive Haemagglutination • Colonisation factor antigens is enterotoxigenic E.coli • E.coli produce two kinds of Exotoxins hemolysins and enterotoxins 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 25

  • 27. Toxins • Enterotoxins – produced by enterotoxigenic strains of E. coli (ETEC). Causes a movement of water and ions from the tissues to the bowel resulting in watery diarrhea. There are two types of enterotoxin: 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 27
  • 28. Toxins • LT – is heat labile and binds to specific Gm1 gangliosides on the epithelial cells of the small intestine where it ADP-ribosylates Gs which stimulates adenylate cyclase to increase production of cAMP. 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 28
  • 29. Toxins • Increased cAMP alters the activity of sodium and chloride transporters producing an ion imbalance that results in fluid transport into the bowel. 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 29
  • 30. Toxins in E.coli • Produce Enterotoxin L T and S T • Labile toxin 1956 De experiments in Rabbit ileal loop causes outpouring of fluids • E.coli Labile toxin like Cholera toxin • L T contains component A and B • A = Active B= Binding • B causes Binding with Gm I Ganglioside receptor on Intestinal epithelial cells 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 30
  • 31. E. coli toxins • Both enterotoxins are composed of five beta subunits (for binding) and 1 alpha subunit (has the toxic enzymatic activity). 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 31
  • 32. Toxins E.coli Labile toxin • Component A Activated to A1 and A2 • A1 Activates adenyl cyclase in the enterocytes to form cyclic adenosine 5 monophosphate • Causes to increase outflow of water and electrolytes in the gut lumen causes Diarrhea 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 32
  • 33. Toxins of E.coli Stable Toxin • ST A and ST B • ST A Acts by activation of Cyclic guano sine monophosphate.( C GMP ) • Causes fluid accumulation in Intestine. • E.coli ( Some ) produce Verocytotoxin causes cytotoxicity to Vero cells. • Acts like Shigella dysentery toxin 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 33
  • 34. E. coli infections • Neonatal meningitis – is the leading cause of neonatal meningitis and septicemia with a high mortality rate. – Usually caused by strains with the K1 capsular antigen. • Gastroenteritis – there are several distinct types of E. coli that are involved in different types of gastroenteritis: – enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), – enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), – enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) , – enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), and – enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). 01/28/18 Dr.T.V.Rao MD 34
