摘要

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) are caused most commonly by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Whole-genome screening approaches, including transcriptomic, proteomic, and signature-tagged mutagenesis, have shown that UPEC highly expresses or requires genes for translational machinery, capsule, lipopolysaccharide, type 1 fimbriae, and iron acquisition systems during UTI. To identify additional genes expressed by UPEC during UTI, an immunoscreening approach termed in vivo-induced antigen technology (IVIAT) was employed to identify antigens produced during experimental infection that are not produced during in vitro culture. An inducible protein expression library, constructed from genomic DNA isolated from UPEC strain CFT073, was screened using exhaustively adsorbed pooled sera from 20 chronically infected female CBA/J mice. Using this approach, we identified 93 antigens induced by UPEC in vivo. A representative subset of these genes was tested by quantitative PCR for expression by CFT073 in vivo and during growth in human urine or LB medium in vitro; proWX, narJI, lolA, lolD, tosA (upxA), c2432, katG, ydhX, kpsS, and yddQ were poorly expressed in vitro but highly expressed in vivo. Of these, tosA, a gene encoding a predicted repeat-in-toxin family member, was expressed exclusively during UTI. Deletion of tosA in UPEC strain CFT073 resulted in significant attenuation in bladder and kidney infections during ascending UTI. By screening for in vivo-induced antigens, we identified a novel UPEC virulence factor and additional proteins that could be useful as potential vaccine targets.
