Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection is a major
cause of death in children under the age of five in developing
countries. ETEC (O78:H11:CFA/I:LT+:ST+) mechanism
has been studied in detail with either heat labile (LT) or heat
stable (ST) toxins using in vitro and in vivo models. However,
there is no adequate information on ETEC pathogenesis producing
both the toxins (LT, ST) in BALB/c mice model. In this
study, female mice have been employed to understand ETEC
H10407 infection induced changes in physiology, biochemical
and immunological patterns up to seven days post-infection
and the antidiarrhoeal effect of Simarouba amara
(Aubl.) bark aqueous extract (SAAE) has also been looked
into. The results indicate that BALB/c is sensitive to ETEC
infection resulting in altered jejunum and ileum histomorphology.
Withal, ETEC influenced cAMP, PGE2, and NO
production resulting in fluid accumulation with varied Na+,
K+, Cl-, and Ca2+ levels. Meanwhile, ETEC subverted expression
of IL-1β, intestine alkaline phosphatase (IAP), and myeloperoxidase
(MPO) in jejunum and ileum. Our data also indicate
the severity of pathogenesis reduction which might be
due to attainment of equilibrium after reaching optimum rate
of infection. Nevertheless, degree of pathogenesis was highly
significant (p < 0.01) in all the studied parameters. Besides
that, SAAE was successful in reducing the infectious diarrhoea
by inhibiting ETEC H10407 in intestine (jejunum and
ileum), and shedding in feces. SAAE decreased cAMP, PGE2,
and fluid accumulation effectively and boosted the functional
activity of immune system in jejunum and ileum IAP, MPO,
IL-1β, and nitric oxide.

Three novel bacterial strains, HDW9AT, HDW9BT, and
HDW9CT, isolated from the intestine of the diving beetles
Cybister lewisianus and Cybister brevis, were characterized as
three novel species using a polyphasic approach. The isolates
were Gram-staining-positive, strictly aerobic, non-motile,
and rod-shaped. They grew optimally at 30°C (pH 7) in the
presence of 0.5% (wt/vol) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based
on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that they belong
to the genus Leucobacter and are closely related to L. denitrificans
M1T8B10T (98.4–98.7% sequence similarity). Average
nucleotide identity (ANI) values among the isolates were
76.4–84.1%. ANI values for the isolates and the closest taxonomic
species, L. denitrificans KACC 14055T, were 72.3–73.1%.
The isolates showed ANI values of < 76.5% with all analyzable
Leucobacter strains in the EzBioCloud database. The
genomic DNA G + C content of the isolates was 60.3–62.5%.
The polar lipid components were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol,
and other unidentified glycolipids, phospholipids,
and lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-
C15:0, iso-C16:0, and anteiso-C17:0. MK-10 was the major
respiratory quinone, and MK-7 and MK-11 were the minor
respiratory quinones. The whole-cell sugar components of the
isolates were ribose, glucose, galactose, and mannose. The
isolates harbored L-2,4-diaminobutyric acid, L-serine, L-lysine,
L-aspartic acid, glycine, and D-glutamic acid within the
cell wall peptidoglycan. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic,
chemotaxonomic, and genotypic analyses, strains HDW9AT,
HDW9BT, and HDW9CT represent three novel species within
the genus Leucobacter. We propose the name Leucobacter
coleopterorum sp. nov. for strain HDW9AT (= KACC 21331T
= KCTC 49317T = JCM 33667T), the name Leucobacter insecticola
sp. nov. for strain HDW9BT (= KACC 21332T =
KCTC 49318T = JCM 33668T), and the name Leucobacter viscericola
sp. nov. for strain HDW9CT (= KACC 21333T =
KCTC 49319T = JCM 33669T).

Bacteriophage endolysin is one of the most promising anti-biotic substitutes, but in Gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane prevents the lysin from hydrolyzing peptidogly-cans and blocks the development of lysin applications. The prime strategy for new antibiotic substitutes is allowing lysin to access the peptidoglycan from outside of the bacteria by reformation of the lysin. In this study, the novel Escherichia coli (E. coli) phage lyase lysep3, which lacks outside-in cata-lytic ability, was fused with the N-terminal region of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens lysin including its cell wall bind-ing domain D8 through the best manner of protein fusion based on the predicted tertiary structure of lysep3-D8 to ob-tain an engineered lysin that can lyse bacteria from the out-side. Our results showed that lysep3-D8 could lyse both Gram- negative and Gram-positive bacteria, whereas lysep3 and D8 have no impact on bacterial growth. The MIC of lysep3-D8 on E. coli CVCC1418 is 60 μg/ml; lysep3-D8 can inhibit the growth of bacteria up to 12 h at this concentration. The bac-tericidal spectrum of lysep3-D8 is broad, as it can lyse of all of 14 E. coli strains, 3 P. aeruginosa strains, 1 Acinetobacter baumannii strain, and 1 Streptococcus strain. Lysep3-D8 has sufficient bactericidal effects on the 14 E. coli strains tested at the concentration of 100 μg/ml. The cell wall binding do-main of the engineered lysin can destroy the integrity of the outer membrane of bacteria, thus allowing the catalytic do-main to reach its target, peptidoglycan, to lyse the bacteria. Lysep3-D8 can be used as a preservative in fodder to benefit the health of animals. The method we used here proved to be a successful exploration of the reformation of phage lysin.

The lysis of bacterial hosts by double-strand DNA bacteriophages, once thought to reflect merely the accumulation of sufficient lysozyme activity during the infection cycle, has been revealed to recently been revealed to be a carefully regulated and temporally scheduled process. For phages of Gramnegative hosts, there are three steps, corresponding to subversion of each of the three layers of the cell envelope: inner membrane, peptidoglycan, and outer membrane. The pathway is controlled at the level of the cytoplasmic membrane. In canonical lysis, a phage encoded protein, the holin, accumulates harmlessly in the cytoplasmic membrane until triggering at an allele-specific time to form micron-scale holes. This allows the soluble endolysin to escape from the cytoplasm to degrade the peptidoglycan. Recently a parallel pathway has been elucidated in which a different type of holin, the pinholin, which, instead of triggering to form large holes, triggers to form small, heptameric channels that serve to depolarize the membrane. Pinholins are associated with SAR endolysins, which accumulate in the periplasm as inactive, membrane-tethered enzymes. Pinholin triggering collapses the proton motive force, allowing the SAR endolysins to refold to an active form and attack the peptidoglycan. Surprisingly, a third step, the disruption of the outer membrane is also required. This is usually achieved by a spanin complex, consisting of a small outer membrane lipoprotein and an integral cytoplasmic membrane protein, designated as o-spanin and i-spanin, respectively. Without spanin function, lysis is blocked and progeny virions are trapped in dead spherical cells, suggesting that the outer membrane has considerable tensile strength. In addition to two-component spanins, there are some single-component spanins, or u-spanins, that have an N-terminal outer-membrane lipoprotein signal and a C-terminal transmembrane domain. A possible mechanism for spanin function to disrupt the outer membrane is to catalyze fusion of the inner and outer membranes.
