Pigs infected with hemolytic F4(+) strains of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli often develop septicemia secondary to intestinal infection. We tested the hypothesis that inactivation of hemolysin would reduce the ability of F4(+) enterotoxigenic E. coli to cause septicemia in swine following oral inoculation. Inactivation of the hemolysin structural gene (hlyA) did not decrease the incidence of septicemia in the gnotobiotic piglet model.
感染产肠毒素大肠杆菌溶血F4(+)菌株的猪常继发肠道感染而发生败血症。我们检验了这样一个假设:溶血素失活会降低F4(+)产肠毒素大肠杆菌经口接种后在猪体内引起败血症的能力。在无菌仔猪模型中,溶血素结构基因(hlyA)失活并未降低败血症的发生率。
