Pathogens, 2021 The first step in the infection of fungal pathogens in humans is the adhesion of the pathogen to host tissue cells or abiotic surfaces such as catheters and implants. One of the main players involved in this are the expressed cell wall adhesins. Here, we

FaaPred: A SVM-Based Prediction Method for Fungal Adhesins and Adhesin-Like Proteins [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Adhesion constitutes one of the initial stages of infection in microbial diseases and is mediated by adhesins. Hence, identification and comprehensive knowledge of adhesins and adhesin-like proteins is essential to understand adhesin mediated ...

Sticking to the Subject: Multifunctionality in Microbial Adhesins
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Bacterial and fungal adhesins mediate microbial aggregation, biofilm formation, and adhesion to host. We divide these proteins into two major classes: professional adhesins and moonlighting adhesins that have a non-adhesive activity that is ...

mGem: Fungal adhesins in Candidozyma auris confer unique fitness for skin colonization [PDF]
mBioCandidozyma auris (formerly Candida auris) is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening infections in humans. C. auris is distinct from other Candida species and exhibits exceptional capacity for skin colonization ...

Context-dependent reprogramming of ALS adhesin expression in Candida albicans: a multi-inducer analysis linking morphogenesis to virulence plasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCandida albicans employs the ALS (Agglutinin-Like Sequence) gene family to encode cell-surface adhesins that are central to host colonization, tissue invasion, and biofilm formation.

Adhesins in the virulence of opportunistic fungal pathogens of human
Mycology, 2021 Aspergillosis, candidiasis, and cryptococcosis are the most common cause of mycoses-related disease and death among immune-compromised patients. Adhesins are cell-surface exposed proteins or glycoproteins of pathogens that bind to the extracellular ...

Special Issue “Sporothrix and Sporotrichosis 2.0”
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Sporotrichosis is a chronic fungal disease of humans and other mammals that often affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues and, rarely, deep-seated organs (most frequently in immunocompetent hosts) [...]

Identification of novel adhesins of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using integrated approach of multiple computational algorithms and experimental analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Pathogenic bacteria interacting with eukaryotic host express adhesins on their surface. These adhesins aid in bacterial attachment to the host cell receptors during colonization.
