The role of HIL1 in strain-level adhesion and immune recognition in Debaryomyces hansenii [PDF]

mBio
Strains of food-derived microbes can become facultative pathogens in susceptible human hosts. Surprisingly, we previously isolated Debaryomyces hansenii, a yeast common in fermented foods, from Crohn disease (CD) ulcers, raising questions about its ...

Bacterial biofilms in the human body: prevalence and impacts on health and disease

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Bacterial biofilms can be found in most environments on our planet, and the human body is no exception. Consisting of microbial cells encased in a matrix of extracellular polymers, biofilms enable bacteria to sequester themselves in favorable niches ...

The Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Major Adhesin Hia Is a Dual-Function Lectin That Binds to Human-Specific Respiratory Tract Sialic Acid Glycan Receptors

mBio, 2020
NTHi is a human-adapted pathogen that colonizes the human respiratory tract. Strains of NTHi express multiple adhesins; however, there is a unique, mutually exclusive relationship between the major adhesins Hia and HMW1 and HMW2 (HMW1/2).
