Genomic island-encoded LmiA regulates acid resistance and biofilm formation in enterohemorrhagic O157:H7.

Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) O157:H7 is an important intestinal pathogen that causes severe foodborne diseases. We previously demonstrated that the genomic island-encoded regulator LmiA activates the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) genes to promote EHEC O157:H7 adherence and colonization in the host intestine. However, whether LmiA is involved in the regulation of any other biological processes in EHEC O157:H7 remains largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
  • * Anti-adhesive therapy aims to block bacteria from attaching to host cells, thereby preventing infections, and natural compounds from food sources show promise in this area.
  • * The review highlights several dietary components that have anti-adhesive properties against various harmful bacteria, suggesting potential for these agents as nutraceuticals or to enhance traditional antibiotic treatments.

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States of America.

Attaching and effacing (A/E) bacterial pathogens consist of human pathogens enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, enterohemorrhagic E. coli and their murine equivalent Citrobacter rodentium (CR). Emerging evidence suggests that the complex pathogen-microbiota-host interactions are critical in conferring A/E pathogen infection-induced severe symptoms and lethality in immunocompromised hosts; however, the precise underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic.
