Chapter 25. Bacterial Adhesins

1991
Publisher Summary Adhesins are proteins located on the surface of the bacteria that mediate their attachment to specific substrates as a prelude to colonization. Substrates may be inanimate surfaces, eukaryotic cells, or other bacteria. The relatively specific nature of adhesin interactions differentiates their mode of action from other surface ...

Bacterial Adhesins: Determinants of Microbial Colonization and Pathogenicity

Advances in Pediatrics, 1997
Bacterial adhesins are a critical determinant of microbial colonization and are fundamental to disease pathogenesis. In this chapter, I have reviewed certain paradigms that exist with respect to structure, variation of expression, and biologic activity.

Gonococcal lipooligosaccharide: an adhesin for bacterial dissemination? Response

Trends in Microbiology, 2000
Dr Nassif discusses gonococcal lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and its role as an adhesin in bacterial dissemination. Our laboratory has shown that, in HepG2 cells and sperm cells, the terminal lactosamine present on lacto-N-neotetraose-terminal gonococcal LOS is a ligand for the human asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGP-R) 1.xNeisseria gonorrhoeae utilizes ...

Relationship Between Bacterial Cell Surfaces and Adhesins

1994
The central dogma of bacterial adhesion requires that the adhesin(s) function from the bacterial surface. In most cases, the adhesins are assembled on the surface, but in a few cases, the adhesins are initially secreted in the soluble form and then associate with the bacterial surface (Tuomanen, 1986; Baker et al., 1991; Wentworth et al., 1991).

Characterization of Lectins and Bacterial Adhesins in Activated Sludge Flocs

Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation, 2008
Bacterial lectins are carbohydrate‐binding proteins that are involved in bacterial adhesion and aggregation. To investigate whether lectins are involved in floc formation of activated sludge, hemaaggultination (HA) and HA inhibition assays were conducted on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) extracted from activated sludges. Six sludges from both

The Application of NMR Techniques to Bacterial Adhesins

2011
Extracellular adhesins frequently compose large, highly-ordered structural assemblies that project away from the bacterial surface. These assemblies, known as pili or fimbriae, are rod-like polymeric structures that in some cases can extend up to several micrometers from the cell surface.
