Dendritic Nano‐Based Slippery Coating by Synergistic Mechanical and Electrostatic Interactions with Persistent and Exceptional Combats Thrombosis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
A novel dendritic nano‐based slippery coating (DNSC), fabricated by encapsulating carboxyl silicone oil within amino dendritic silica nanoparticles and co‐embedding them in an epoxy resin matrix. The dendritic architecture enhances nanoparticle dispersion in the matrix and establishes mechanical interlock.

Comparison of the serum sensitivity of uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli isolated from different diagnostic groups [PDF]

Medicinski Glasnik, 2005
The bactericidal activity of serum caused by complement system is an important defence mechanism protecting the host organism against infection. The capacity to resist bactericidal activity of normal human serum contributes to the virulence of many gram ...

FimH and Anti-Adhesive Therapeutics: A Disarming Strategy Against Uropathogens

Antibiotics, 2020
Chaperone-usher fimbrial adhesins are powerful weapons against the uropathogens that allow the establishment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). As the antibiotic therapeutic strategy has become less effective in the treatment of uropathogen-related UTIs,

Bacterial Infections Role in Gynecological Cancers Development: Narrative Review

Cancer Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Gynecological cancers are among the most common cancers in women that affect female reproductive organs. The most common gynecological cancers are ovarian, cervical, uterine/endometrial, vaginal, and vulvar cancer. Women's reproductive organs have a dynamic and relative microbial balance.

A multi-epitope fusion antigen candidate vaccine for Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is protective against strain B7A colonization in a rabbit model.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are a leading cause of children's and travelers' diarrhea. Developing effective vaccines against this heterologous group has proven difficult due to the varied nature of toxins and adhesins that determine ...

Acetyl‐Phosphate Dependent Protein Acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The role of acetyl‐phosphate‐dependent non‐enzymatic protein acetylation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae was investigated through the deletion of the phosphotransacetylase (pta) and the acetate kinase (ackA) genes, this led to a decrease and increase in protein acetylation, respectively.

Curli fimbria: an Escherichia coli adhesin associated with human cystitis

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2016
Escherichia coli is the major causative agent of human cystitis. In this study, a preliminary molecular analysis carried out by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) demonstrated that 100% of 31 E. coli strains isolated from patients with recurrent UTIs (urinary tract infections) showed the presence of the curli fimbria gene (csgA). Curli fimbria is known to

Synergistic Inhibitory Effect and Mechanism of Action of Cinnamaldehyde‐Carvacrol Nanoemulsion on the Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli Mixed Biofilms Formation

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The study prepared Cinnamaldehyde‐Carvacrol nanoemulsions (CA/CV NEs) through high‐energy emulsification. In a mouse infection model, CA/CV NEs exhibited a synergistic inhibitory effect on the formation of Staphylococcus aureus–Escherichia coli mixed biofilms, reducing PIA, LuxS/AI‐2, adhesion, athletic ability, and extracellular protein.
