Importance of the epa locus of Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF in a mouse model of ascending urinary tract infection.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Aug 2009

Singh Kavindra V, Lewis Roshan J, Murray Barbara E

Abstract excerpt

Previously, TX5179, a disruption mutant of the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen (epa) gene cluster of Enterococcus faecalis strain OG1RF was shown to be attenuated in translocation, biofilm, mouse peritonitis and was more susceptible to polymorphonuclear leukocyte phagocytic killing. Here, wild-type E. faecalis OG1RF and TX5179 strains were tested in a mixed-infection (inoculum, approximately 1:1) mouse...
