Cohesive Properties of the Caulobacter crescentus Holdfast Adhesin Are Regulated by a Novel c-di-GMP Effector Protein

mBio, 2017
When encountering surfaces, many bacteria produce adhesins to facilitate their initial attachment and to irreversibly glue themselves to the solid substrate.

Comparing clinical manifestations, treatment strategies and outcomes of Staphylococcus lugdunensis bacteraemia versus Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia – a retrospective cohort study

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase‐negative Staphylococcus that has been increasingly recognised as a significant pathogen capable of causing invasive infections similar to Staphylococcus aureus. Data comparing the clinical manifestations and outcomes of S. lugdunensis bacteraemia to S. aureus bacteraemia remain limited. This

Unravelling the specificity and mechanism of sialic acid recognition by the gut symbiont Ruminococcus gnavus

Nature Communications, 2017
The mucus layer is an important physical niche within the gut which harbours a distinct microbial community. Here the authors show that specific carbohydrate-binding modules associated with bacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes are mucus adhesins that ...

Alteration of subgingival microbiome in patients with type 2 diabetes induced by diabetes treatment

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Diabetes and periodontal disease, a bacterial infection involving the oral microbiome, have a bidirectional relationship. However, the relationship between poor glycemic control and the oral microbiome remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the direct effect of intensive glycemic control on the oral microbiome ...

Serotypic and Genomic Diversity of Vibrio anguillarum in Rainbow Trout Farms in Turkey: Implications for Vibriosis Control and Vaccine Candidate Selection

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Outbreaks of vibriosis caused by Vibrio anguillarum are a persistent constraint on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture. However, information on the population structure of field strains in Turkey has been lacking. Here, we report the first systematic serotypic, proteomic, and genomic characterization of 23 V.

Pathoblockers or antivirulence drugs as a new option for the treatment of bacterial infections

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018
The rapid development of antimicrobial resistance is threatening mankind to such an extent that the World Health Organization expects more deaths from infections than from cancer in 2050 if current trends continue.

Burkholderia cenocepacia–host cell contact controls the transcription activity of the trimeric autotransporter adhesin BCAM2418 gene

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
Cell‐to‐cell early contact between pathogens and their host cells is required for the establishment of many infections. Among various surface factors produced by bacteria that allow an organism to become established in a host, the class of adhesins is a ...

Oral and Pancreatobiliary Microbiota in Cancer: A Systematic Review of Compositional Alterations and Their Clinical Implications

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Associations between microbial dysbiosis and malignancies of the pancreatobiliary system have been described in recent studies. As a result of the limited number of studies that have been done specifically on the malignancies of the biliary tract, information regarding oral, biliary and tumour‐related microbial alterations was ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.
