A processed Multidomain Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae adhesin binds fibronectin, plasminogen, and swine respiratory cilia

, 2010
Porcine enzootic pneumonia is a chronic respiratory disease that affects swine. The etiological agent of the disease, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, is a bacterium that adheres to cilia of the swine respiratory tract, resulting in loss of cilia and epithelial

Zinc‐stabilized stannous fluoride modulates the periodontal microbiome, reducing Fusobacteria, key Gram‐negative species, and overall inflammation within an experimental gingivitis clinical trial

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a dentifrice containing stannous fluoride stabilized with zinc phosphate on subgingival microbiome composition and clinical inflammation during experimental gingivitis, compared with a sodium fluoride control. Methods This investigation was conducted as a secondary analysis of a randomized,

The fibronectin adhesin of Candida albicans [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1994
Candida albicans possesses on its cell surface an adhesin which binds the whole viable fungus to subendothelial extracellular matrix and matrix proteins. The adhesin is composed of 75 to 80% carbohydrate and approximately 20 to 25% protein by weight. High-performance liquid chromatography of material eluted from a fibronectin-agarose affinity column ...

A systematic survey of type I secretion systems and their substrate proteins in Salmonella

Virulence
Type I secretion systems (T1SSs) and the substrates have not been investigated extensively in Salmonella, despite their potential significance. In this research, we screened the comprehensive list of Salmonella T1SSs, observed their evolution and ...

Mechanisms of Surface Antigenic Variation in the Human Pathogenic Fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii

mBio, 2017
Microbial pathogens commonly escape the human immune system by varying surface proteins. We investigated the mechanisms used for that purpose by Pneumocystis jirovecii.

Yersinia adhesins: An arsenal for infection [PDF]

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, 2016
The Yersiniae are a group of Gram‐negative coccobacilli inhabiting a wide range of habitats. The genus harbors three recognized human pathogens: Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis, which both cause gastrointestinal disease, and Y. pestis, the causative agent of plague.

Coordination of Candida albicans Invasion and Infection Functions by Phosphoglycerol Phosphatase Rhr2

Pathogens, 2015
The Candida albicans RHR2 gene, which specifies a glycerol biosynthetic enzyme, is required for biofilm formation in vitro and in vivo. Prior studies indicate that RHR2 is ultimately required for expression of adhesin genes, such as ALS1.
