Prediction and molecular insights into fungal adhesins and adhesin like proteins
Computational Biology and Chemistry, 2019Adhesion is the foremost step in pathogenesis and biofilm formation and is facilitated by a special class of cell wall proteins known as adhesins. Formation of biofilms in catheters and other medical devices subsequently leads to infections. As compared to bacterial adhesins, there is relatively less work for the characterization and identification of ...

Proteinaceous Bacterial Adhesins and Their Receptors
CRC Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1982The adhesion of bacteria to surfaces is an ecologically important property which enables them to colonize their natural habitats. Adhesion between bacteria mediated by sex pili and aggregation substances may also promote gene transfers. In this review, we describe the adhesive properties of bacteria (to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and inert ...

Surface Adhesins of Staphylococcus aureus
2006An important facet in the interaction between Staphylococcus aureus and its host is the ability of the bacterium to adhere to human extracellular matrix components and serum proteins. In order to colonise the host and disseminate, it uses a wide range of strategies, the molecular and genetic basis of which are multifactorial, with extensive functional ...

The Fimbrial Adhesins of Escherichia Coli
1987Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the current knowledge of E. coli adhesions and their receptors. The main emphasis is given on the genetic and physiological aspects of adhesin production, the primary structure of adhesion subunits, their adhesive properties, and the characterization of adhesion receptors.

Anti-Adhesins of Streptococcus Sobrinus
1996Several members of the genus Streptococcus seem to be able to elaborate surface lectins. The oral streptococci have been reported to bind sialic acid ( S. sanguis) and α-glucans (Gibbons and Fitzgerald 1969). The organisms capable of binding α-glucans include S. cricetus and S. sobrinus. A few members of the highly cariogenic S. mutans also can complex

Microbial adhesins to gastrointestinal mucus
Trends in Microbiology, 2012The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is lined by a layer of mucus formed by mucin glycoproteins. This layer constitutes a physical and chemical barrier between the intestinal contents and the underlying epithelia. In addition to this protective role, mucins harbor glycan-rich domains that provide preferential binding sites for pathogens and commensal ...

Nonfimbrial Adhesins of Escherichia Coli
1996Pathogenic Escherichia coli exhibit a variety of adhesins classified according to their morphology, antigenic structure or receptor specificity.
