Structure-Function Analysis of Decay-Accelerating Factor: Identification of Residues Important for Binding of the Escherichia coli Dr Adhesin and Complement Regulation

, 2002
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a complement regulatory protein, also serves as a receptor for Dr adhesin-bearing Escherichia coli. The repeat three of DAF was shown to be important in Dr adhesin binding and complement regulation.

High Prevalence of vanA‐Positive Vancomycin‐Resistant Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium: Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation, and Virulence Profiles

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), biofilm formation, and virulence traits in clinical Enterococcus isolates from central Iran remain limited. This study evaluated AMR profiles, biofilm‐forming capacity, and the prevalence of virulence and resistance genes in clinical Enterococcus isolates from Arak, Iran.

Factors governing attachment of Rhizobium leguminosarum to legume roots at acid, neutral, and alkaline pHs

mSystems
Rhizobial attachment to host legume roots is the first physical interaction of bacteria and plants in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The pH-dependent primary attachment of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae 3841 to Pisum sativum (pea) roots was ...

The effect of calcium and magnesium on the aggregation of a purple phototrophic bacteria mixed consortium

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 11, Page 2301-2309, November 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND An essential aspect of applying Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) technology for wastewater treatment is the biomass separation from the aqueous phase. Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been used to enhance the aggregation of different biological matrices. In this paper, the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the aggregation of a mixed culture of PPB was

Molecular Prevalence and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Buffaloes from Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Nasal swabs collected from 400 buffaloes were analysed to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance and virulence characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. MRSA isolates exhibited extensive multidrug resistance and harboured multiple resistance and virulence genes, highlighting their pathogenic and zoonotic potential.

Flagella‐Mediated Biofilm Formation and 3D Swarming Drive Virulence in the Honey Bee Pathogen Paenibacillus larvae

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2026.
The flagella of the bacterial pathogen Paenibacillus larvae, the etiological agent of American foulbrood in honey bees, were characterized and identified as virulence factors. These cellular appendages play key roles in biofilm formation and 3D swarming, two multicellular behaviours of P. larvae that contribute to pathogenesis.
