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.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Adhesive polypeptides of Staphylococcus aureus identified using a novel secretion library technique in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2011 Background Bacterial adhesive proteins, called adhesins, are frequently the decisive factor in initiation of a bacterial infection. Characterization of such molecules is crucial for the understanding of bacterial pathogenesis, design of ...

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.

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.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.Retail meat–derived E. coli frequently harbored multidrug‑resistance phenotypes, diverse virulence determinants, and plasmid‑encoded resistance genes with high conjugative potential. Results indicate meat and poultry as underrecognized reservoirs facilitating dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and pathogenic lineages, with imported products ...

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Phosphorylated intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), such as Bcl2‐associated agonist of cell death (BAD) and Tau, play critical roles in apoptosis and neurodegeneration, yet their instability during recombinant expression due to degradation, aggregation, and dephosphorylation, has limited structural and mechanistic studies.
