Human challenges with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) have broadened our understanding of this important enteropathogen. We report findings from the first challenge studies using ETEC-expressing colonization factor fimbria CS17 and CS19. LSN03-016011/A (LT, CS17) elicited a dose-dependent effect, with the upper dose (6 × 10(9) organisms) causing diarrhea in 88% of recipients. WS0115A (LTSTp, CS19) also showed a dose response, with a 44% diarrhea rate at 9 × 10(9) organisms. Both strains elicited homologous antifimbrial and anti-LT antibody seroconversion. These studies establish the relative pathogenicity of ETEC expressing newer class 5 fimbriae and suggest suitability of the LT|CS17-ETEC challenge model for interventional trials.
人类感染肠产毒性大肠杆菌(ETEC)的挑战拓宽了我们对这种重要肠病原体的认识。我们报告了首次使用表达定植因子纤毛 CS17 和 CS19 的 ETEC 进行挑战研究的结果。LSN03-016011/A(LT、CS17)引起了剂量依赖性效应,高剂量(6×10^9 个生物体)导致 88%的受者腹泻。WS0115A(LTSTp、CS19)也表现出剂量反应,在 9×10^9 个生物体时腹泻率为 44%。两种菌株均引起同源性抗纤毛和抗 LT 抗体血清转化率。这些研究确定了表达新型 5 类纤毛的 ETEC 的相对致病性,并表明 LT|CS17-ETEC 挑战模型适合干预试验。
