AbstractE. coli has got increasing importance as a causative agent of intestinal and extra‐intestinal diseases. In both these infections adhesion of the bacteria to mucous surface cells are initial events for coionization and development of infection. Adhesins are bacterial recognition proteins which specifically interact with carbohydrate moieties of ...

Collagen adhesin–nanoparticle interaction impairs adhesin's ligand binding mechanism
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2012Pathogenic bacteria specifically recognize extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules of the host (e.g. collagen, fibrinogen and fibronectin) through their surface proteins known as MSCRAMMs (Microbial Surface Components Recognizing Adhesive Matrix Molecules) and initiate colonization.

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1999
The adherent properties of Candida albicans blastoconidia and germ tubes have long been appreciated, but little is known about the mechanisms responsible for adherence. Recently, three genes, ALA1, ALS1 and HWP1, encoding proteins with adherent properties and motifs consistent with linkage to the beta-1, 6-glucan of C. albicans cell walls have provided

VAP-1: an adhesin and an enzyme
Trends in Immunology, 2001Leukocyte extravasation from the blood into tissues is of paramount importance for normal immunosurveillance and in mounting adequate inflammatory responses. Multiple traditional adhesion molecules and chemoattractants on leukocytes and endothelial cells are involved in the emigration process.

Proteinaceous Bacterial Adhesins and Their Receptors
CRC Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1982The adhesion of bacteria to surfaces is an ecologically important property which enables them to colonize their natural habitats. Adhesion between bacteria mediated by sex pili and aggregation substances may also promote gene transfers. In this review, we describe the adhesive properties of bacteria (to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, and inert ...

Surface Adhesins of Staphylococcus aureus
2006An important facet in the interaction between Staphylococcus aureus and its host is the ability of the bacterium to adhere to human extracellular matrix components and serum proteins. In order to colonise the host and disseminate, it uses a wide range of strategies, the molecular and genetic basis of which are multifactorial, with extensive functional ...

The Fimbrial Adhesins of Escherichia Coli
1987Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the current knowledge of E. coli adhesions and their receptors. The main emphasis is given on the genetic and physiological aspects of adhesin production, the primary structure of adhesion subunits, their adhesive properties, and the characterization of adhesion receptors.

Anti-Adhesins of Streptococcus Sobrinus
1996Several members of the genus Streptococcus seem to be able to elaborate surface lectins. The oral streptococci have been reported to bind sialic acid ( S. sanguis) and α-glucans (Gibbons and Fitzgerald 1969). The organisms capable of binding α-glucans include S. cricetus and S. sobrinus. A few members of the highly cariogenic S. mutans also can complex

Microbial adhesins to gastrointestinal mucus
Trends in Microbiology, 2012The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is lined by a layer of mucus formed by mucin glycoproteins. This layer constitutes a physical and chemical barrier between the intestinal contents and the underlying epithelia. In addition to this protective role, mucins harbor glycan-rich domains that provide preferential binding sites for pathogens and commensal ...
