mBio, 2021 Bacterial adhesins are key virulence factors that are essential for the pathogen-host interaction and biofilm formation that cause most infections. Many of the adhesin-driven cell-cell interactions are mediated by lectins.

Adhesins and host serum factors drive Yop translocation by yersinia into professional phagocytes during animal infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Yersinia delivers Yops into numerous types of cultured cells, but predominantly into professional phagocytes and B cells during animal infection. The basis for this cellular tropism during animal infection is not understood.

BMC Microbiology, 2011 Background Bacterial adhesive proteins, called adhesins, are frequently the decisive factor in initiation of a bacterial infection. Characterization of such molecules is crucial for the understanding of bacterial pathogenesis, design of vaccines and ...

mBio, 2022 Early bacterial survival in the postsurgical joint is still a mystery. Recently, synovial fluid-induced aggregation was proposed as a potential mechanism of bacterial protection upon entry into the joint. As synovial fluid is secreted back into the joint

Evaluation of cell binding activities of Leptospira ECM adhesins. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 Pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira are the causative agents of leptospirosis, a zoonotic infection that occurs globally. The bacteria colonize the renal proximal tubules of many animals and are shed in the urine.

The BtaF trimeric autotransporter of Brucella suis is involved in attachment to various surfaces, resistance to serum and virulence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The adhesion of bacterial pathogens to host cells is an event that determines infection, and ultimately invasion and intracellular multiplication. Several evidences have recently shown that this rule is also truth for the intracellular pathogen Brucella.

Adhesion of Helicobacter Species to the Human Gastric Mucosa: A Deep Look Into Glycans Role
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Helicobacter species infections may be associated with the development of gastric disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia and gastric carcinoma.

Catch-bond mechanism of the bacterial adhesin FimH [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractLigand–receptor interactions that are reinforced by mechanical stress, so-called catch-bonds, play a major role in cell–cell adhesion. They critically contribute to widespread urinary tract infections by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. These pathogens attach to host epithelia via the adhesin FimH, a two-domain protein at the tip of type I ...

Structural biology of gram‐positive bacterial adhesins [PDF]
Protein Science, 2011 AbstractThe structural biology of Gram‐positive cell surface adhesins is an emerging field of research, whereas Gram‐negative pilus assembly and anchoring have been extensively investigated and are well understood. Gram‐positive surface proteins known as MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) and individual ...

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
