Evolution and structural dynamics of bacterial glycan binding adhesins
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2017Infectious disease processes like bacterial adherence or the activity of secreted toxins frequently gain host and tissue specificity by glycan binding interactions with the host glycome. Recent functional and structural studies highlight the high niche specialization of bacterial lectins, but also reveal a remarkable plasticity in their glycan binding ...

Carbohydrates as recognition molecules for bacterial adhesins: Methodology and characteristics
Archives of Oral Biology, 1990Future attempts at developing inhibitors of dental plaque formation necessitate characterization of the bacterial-host, as well as the inter-bacterial recognition processes. Bacterial binding to a panel of solid-phase reference glycolipids was used to reveal the recognition of internal receptor sequences, low-affinity cooperative interactions, and ...

[Bacterial adhesins in the prophylaxis and therapy of infections].
Quaderni Sclavo di diagnostica clinica e di laboratorio, 1987Pathogenic bacteria must stably colonize mucosal surface to initiate the infectious process. A growing body of evidence indicates that bacteria attach to tissue surface by specific interactions between molecules of recognition (receptors) on host cell surface and adhesive molecules (adhesins) on the surfaces of the bacteria.

Bacterial Adhesins — Their Role In Tubule Invasion And Endodontic Disease
Australian Endodontic Journal, 2002AbstractBacterial invasion of dentinal tubules is critical to the progression of dental caries and the development of pulp and periapical disease, and may also influence the progression of periodontal disease. However, little is known about the host or bacterial mechanisms involved in tubule invasion.

Bacterial Bindance: Adhesins and Their Engagement to Host
2019In this chapter, the student will be introduced to the fundamental molecular unit of bacterial adherence, the adhesin. The interaction of bacteria with its host is framed in the context of the benefits of these interactions to bacterial survival as well as the long and short term consequences in relation to infection and disease.
