Helicobacter pylori employs a general protein glycosylation system for the modification of outer membrane adhesins

, 2022
Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with the development of several gastric diseases including gastric cancer. To reach a long-term colonization in the host stomach, H.

Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanistic interplay between periodontitis and IBD, with a particular emphasis on the microbial and immunological crosstalk linking the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.

A structural overview of mycobacterial adhesins: Key biomarkers for diagnostics and therapeutics

, 2018
Adherence, colonization, and survival of mycobacteria in host cells require surface adhesins, which are attractive pharmacotherapeutic targets. A large arsenal of pilus and non-pilus adhesins have been identified in mycobacteria.

Silencing of Sporothrix schenckii GP70 Reveals Its Contribution to Fungal Adhesion, Virulence, and the Host–Fungus Interaction

Journal of Fungi
Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a cutaneous and subcutaneous infection distributed worldwide. Like other medically relevant fungi, its cell wall is a molecular scaffold to display virulence factors, such as ...

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.

The Dual Face of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Cancer: Foe, Friend or Both?

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum has established interactions with cancers in humans. However, contrary to a traditional view that these interactions are uniformly pro‐tumoural, recent evidence suggests a more nuanced role, where contact‐dependent and contact‐independent mechanisms may support either tumour progression or restriction depending on tumour site ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Adhesin receptors of human oral bacteria and modeling of putative adhesin-binding domains

Journal of Industrial Microbiology, 1995
Adherence by bacteria to a surface is critical to their survival in the human oral cavity. Many types of molecules are present in the saliva and serous exudates that form the acquired pellicle, a coating on the tooth surface, and serve as receptor molecules for adherent bacteria.

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.
