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.

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 ...

Effect of Gravity on Bacterial Adhesion to Heterogeneous Surfaces

, 2023
Bacterial adhesion is the first step in the formation of surface biofilms. The number of bacteria that bind to a surface from the solution depends on how many bacteria can reach the surface (bacterial transport) and the strength of interactions between ...

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 ...

Fatal Attraction: How Bacterial Adhesins Affect Host Signaling and What We Can Learn from Them [PDF]

, 2015
The ability of bacterial species to colonize and infect host organisms is critically dependent upon their capacity to adhere to cellular surfaces of the host.

CEACAM1 recognition by bacterial pathogens is species-specific

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), an immunoglobulin (Ig)-related glycoprotein, serves as cellular receptor for a variety of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens associated with the human mucosa.

The Transmembrane Mucin MUC1 Facilitates β1-Integrin-Mediated Bacterial Invasion

mBio, 2021
Bacteria can exploit membrane receptor integrins for cellular invasion, either by direct binding of bacterial adhesins or utilizing extracellular matrix components.

How bacteria hack the matrix and dodge the bullets of immunity

European Respiratory Review, 2018
Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are common Gram-negative pathogens associated with an array of pulmonary diseases. All three species have multiple adhesins in their outer membrane, i.e.

Stopping Tuberculosis at the Gate: The Role of M. tuberculosis Adhesins in Infection and Intervention

Vaccines
The global burden of tuberculosis (TB), exacerbated by the rise of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), underscores the need for alternative intervention strategies. One promising approach is to block the infection at its earliest
