The uptake of nutrients was investigated in the renal cortical brush border membrane (BBM) vesicles at different stages of ascending pyelonephritis. There was significant difference (p less than 0.05) in the uptake of D-glucose, L-alanine, L-aspartate, L-lysine and L-proline 3 days postinfection and
The uptake of D-glucose, L-aspartate, L-lysine and L-proline was investigated in renal brush border membrane (BBM) vesicles prepared from control, infected or passively-immunized-infected rats. Except L-aspartate, a progressive decrease in the uptake of these nutrients in both infected and
Trehalose synthesis (RpoS-dependent) and betaine uptake mediated by transporters ProP and ProU contribute to the osmotolerance of Escherichia coli K-12. Pyelonephritis isolates CFT073 and HU734 were similar and diminished in osmotolerance, respectively, compared to E. coli K-12. The roles of RpoS,
Transcription factor EKLF (Erythroid Krüppel-Like Factor) belongs to the group of Krüppellike factors, which regulate proliferation, differentiation, development and apoptosis of mammalian cells. EKLF factor is present in erythroid cells, where it participates in regulation of hematopoiesis,
Osmoregulatory transporters ProP and ProU mediate the use of betaines as osmoprotectants by Escherichia coli. Glycine betaine and proline betaine are present in mammalian urines. Betaine uptake may therefore facilitate the growth of E. coli in the urinary tract, an environment of fluctuating
