Scalable Isolation and Purification of Extracellular Vesicles from Escherichia coli and Other Bacteria

Bacteria secrete nanometer-sized extracellular vesicles (EVs) carrying bioactive biological molecules. EV research focuses on understanding their biogenesis, role in microbe-microbe and host-microbe interactions and disease, as well as their potential therapeutic applications. A workflow for scalable isolation of EVs from various bacteria is presented to facilitate standardization of EV...

Assessment of Intestinal Transcytosis of Neonatal Escherichia coli Bacteremia Isolates

Escherichia coli causes sepsis in neonates who ingest the bacteria around the time of birth. The process involved in E. coli’s ability to travel from the enteric tract to the bloodstream is poorly understood. This in vitro model assesses the ability of E. coli strains to travel through the intestinal epithelial...

Preparation of Bioluminescent Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Inoculum

Source: Kuo, C., et al. Detection of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli Colonization in Murine Host by Non-invasive In Vivo Bioluminescence System. J. Vis. Exp. (2018)This video demonstrates the preparation of a luciferase-expressing enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli suspension from frozen stock for use as an oral inoculum in animal models. This enables real-time, bioluminescent tracking of intestinal colonization during in vivo infection...

Large-scale Production of Recombinant RNAs on a Circular Scaffold Using a Viroid-derived System in Escherichia coli

Here, we present a protocol to produce large amounts of recombinant RNA in Escherichia coli by co-expressing a chimeric RNA that contains the RNA of interest in a viroid scaffold and a plant tRNA ligase. The main product is a circular molecule that facilitates purification to...

Producing Gene Deletions in Escherichia coli by P1 Transduction with Excisable Antibiotic Resistance Cassettes

Here we present a protocol for the use of pre-existing antibiotic resistance-cassette deletion constructs as a basis for making deletion mutants in other E. coli strains. Such deletion mutations can be mobilized and inserted into the corresponding locus of a recipient strain using P1 bacteriophage transduction.

Population and Single-Cell Analysis of Antibiotic Persistence in Escherichia coli12:29

Population and Single-Cell Analysis of Antibiotic Persistence in Escherichia coli

Antibiotic persistence describes the ability of small subpopulations within a sensitive isogenic population to transiently tolerate high doses of bactericidal antibiotics. The present protocol combines approaches to characterize the antibiotic persistence phenotype at the molecular and cellular levels after exposing Escherichia coli to lethal doses of...
