AI Article Synopsis
- Horses immunized with E. coli K235 L + O(m) produce antibodies that can both precipitate and neutralize colicine K and also neutralize a different type, colicine I.
- Unlike rabbits, horses generate antibodies that target colominic acid, a polysaccharide that contains sialic acid.
- This difference in immune response highlights horses' unique ability to react to certain bacterial components compared to other animals like rabbits.
Article Abstract
1. The immunization of horses with the colicinogenic bacillus E. coli K235 L + O(m) stimulates antibodies which precipitate and neutralize colicine K and neutralize the heterologous colicine I as well. 2. Unlike rabbits, horses evoke predpitating antibodies for the sialic acid-containing polysaccharide colominic acid.

Escherichia coli strains were screened for their ability to inhibit E. coli O157:H7. An initial evaluation of 18 strains carrying previously characterized colicins determined that only colicin E7 inhibited all of the E.

The presence of "natural antibodies" against colicines was detected in the sera of 13 (29.5%) hospitalized recruits aged 20-29 years, 4 (25%) hospitalized males aged 30-49 years, 8 (40%) outpatient elderly subjects aged 50-79 years and in the sera of 15 (27.2%) animals.
