Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Investigation of the source of haemolytic Escherichia coli infecting weaned pigs [PDF]

, 1987
Attempts were made to discover the source of strains of haemolytic Escherichia coli infecting weaned pigs on a piggery. The organisms were not detected in the faeces of sows in the farrowing house, or in the in the faeces or intestinal tracts of ...

AFA and F17 adhesins produced by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains in domestic animals

, 1999
International audienceAFA and F17 are afimbrial and fimbrial adhesins, respectively, produced by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains in domestic animals. F17-related fimbriae are mainly detected on bovine and ovine E.

Subversion of plant endomembrane trafficking by a Plasmodiophora brassicae effector PbALE that recruits membrane components at the host–pathogen interface to aid in colonization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematics of ΔSPPbALE‐induced disruption of plant endomembrane trafficking impairs both preinvasive and postinvasive immunity against filamentous fungi and facilitates intracellular colonization by Plasmodiophora brassicae. Summary Plasmodiophora brassicae, an intracellular biotrophic protist that causes clubroot in crucifers, extensively alters the ...

Ascending infection of Gardnerella spp. and compartmentalized inflammatory response in fetal–maternal interface organ‐on‐chip model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The fetal–maternal interface organ‐on‐chip was used to investigate the ascending infection of Gardnerella spp. across the decidua (DEC), chorion trophoblast (CTC), amnion mesenchymal (AMC) and amnion epithelial (AEC) compartments over 48 h.

Compounds targeting YadC of uropathogenic Escherichia coli and its host receptor annexin A2 decrease bacterial colonization in bladder

EBioMedicine, 2019
Background: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and fimbrial tip adhesins, play important roles in UPEC colonization.

Microarray analysis of the ler regulon in enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic escherichia coli strains [PDF]

, 2014
The type III protein secretion system is an important pathogenicity factor of enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli pathotypes. The genes encoding this apparatus are located on a pathogenicity island (the locus of enterocyte effacement)

Molecular genetic analysis of Escherichia coli type I adhesins

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2006
Protein FimH is an adhesive terminal subunit of Escherichia coli type I pili. The content of FimH on the surface of a bacterial cell does not directly depend on FimH expression, but is limited by expression of other fim cluster genes encoding structural subunits and proteins responsible for assembly of pili.

Enhancing the Secretion Systems: Genetic Engineering of Super Bioagents for Effective Plant Disease Control

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 11, Page 2821-2855, November 2026.
Genetic engineering (GE) overcomes BCA limits, enabling robust, scalable crop protection. “Super Bioagents” (SBs) use optimized SSs to enhance bioactive molecule delivery. Optimizing SSs enhance precise, sustainable effector deployment for stable disease suppression. SBs use microbiome‐informed design for scalable, next‐gen sustainable crop protection.

Recent progress in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli vaccine research and development

Infection and Immunity
There are no licensed vaccines against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), a group of E. coli strains that produce a heat-labile toxin and/or a heat-stable toxin (STa). ETEC is one of the top four leading causes of diarrhea in children in developing
