Escherichia coli E24377A

Escherichia coli E24377A is an enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) isolate and was obtained from Maj. Carl Brinkley (Walter Reed Army Institute of Research). ETEC is the leading cause of traveler's diarrhea, characterized by a large volume of watery diarrhea. ETEC primarily colonizes the small intestine by way of the colonization factor antigen (CFA) pili. (E. coli E24377A has been shown to contain CFA pili types CS1 and CS3). Additionally two toxins are thought to be responsible for the virulence, heat stable and heat labile enterotoxins. Other virulence factors include serotype O139:H28 and a number of uncharacterized plasmids. The stocks used for genomic DNA preparation were obtained from a master- and production cGMP cell bank available at WRAIR/NMRC.
