Varied influence of curli on Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157, O26, O111 biofilm formation and animal cell adherence.

Indira T. Kudva, Erika N. Biernbaum, Hannah Mazon, Koy Drabek

This study investigates the relationship between curli production, biofilm formation, and adherence of STEC isolates to bovine epithelial cells, finding that environmental conditions influence biofilm formation but not necessarily adherence.

The Carbon Starvation-Inducible Lipoprotein (Slp) Influences Differential Adherence of Escherichia coli O157:H7 at the Bovine Rectoanal Junction.

Indira T. Kudva, Erika N. Biernbaum, Eric D. Cassmann…·Subhashinie Kariyawasam

This study shows that the Slp protein in E. coli O157:H7 facilitates adherence to bovine rectoanal junction columnar cells via pIgR, supporting its role in colonization and immune interference.

Growth dynamics and protein-expression of Escherichia coli serotypes O26:H11, O111:H8 and O145:NM in the bovine rumen.

Indira T. Kudva, Erika N. Biernbaum, Julian Trachsel

This study compares the growth and protein expression of non-O157 STEC serotypes and non-STEC E. coli in bovine rumen environments under different dietary conditions.
