| Abstract | Escherichia coli K1 strains, isolated from human newborns with meningitis, were fed to pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley infant rats by an oral gastric tube. Feeding of 10(3) to 10(11) organisms colonized the intestine of approximately 70% of the animals. At 5 days postfeeding of 3- to 5-day-old rats, bacteremia was detected in 60%, and meningitis occurred in 15% of bacteremic animals. Colonization and bacteremia were age-related. Rats 15 days old had only 19 colonization and 10% bacteremia, and those 30 days old were almost completely resistant to colonization and bacteremia. The intranasal route was less effective in inducing colonization and bacteremia. Intralitter transmission from E. coli K1-fed rats occurred, with 52% of water-fed controls becoming colonized and 15% become bacteremic. Colonization of mothers from their fed infants occurred, but none of five tested developed bacteremia. Other E. coli capsular polysaccharide types were studied. A K92 strain isolated from a newborn with meningitis induced a 77% colonization rate, and 8% of these developed bacteremia without detectable meningitis. An E. coli K100 strain showed a 32% colonization rate, and 2% developed bacteremia. The age relation, relatively high virulence of K1 compared with other capsular types, spontaneous appearance of colonization, bacteremia, and meningitis, and intralitter transmission of colonization and disease in newborn rats closely parellel E. coli epidemiology in human neonates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
