Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy of Mycobacterial Adhesin-Adhesin Interactions [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2007
ABSTRACT The heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA) is one of the few virulence factors identified for Mycobacterium tuberculosis . It is a surface-associated adhesin that expresses a number of different activities, including mycobacterial adhesion to nonphagocytic cells and microbial aggregation.

Proteinaceous molecules mediating Bifidobacterium-host interactions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Bifidobacteria are commensal microoganisms found in the gastrointestinal tract.Several strains have been attributed beneficial traits at local and systemic levels, through pathogen exclusion or immune modulation, among other benefits. This has promoted a
