Bacterial Adhesins: Function and Structure

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2000
Specific adhesion to host tissue cells is an essential virulence factor of most bacterial pathogens. The fundamental processes that determine bacterial attachment to host tissue surfaces are mediated by microbial adhesins.

Adhesins in Candida glabrata [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2018
The human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is causing more and more problems in hospitals, as this species shows an intrinsic antifungal drug resistance or rapidly becomes resistant when challenged with antifungals. C.

Two Plasmodium Rhomboid Proteases Preferentially Cleave Different Adhesins Implicated in All Invasive Stages of Malaria

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2006
Invasion of host cells by the malaria pathogen Plasmodium relies on parasite transmembrane adhesins that engage host-cell receptors. Adhesins must be released by cleavage before the parasite can enter the cell, but the processing enzymes have remained ...

Adhesin–Receptor Interactions inPasteurellaceae [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1998
The ability of bacteria to adhere to mucosal epithelium is dependent on the expression of adhesive molecules or structures, called adhesins, that allow attachment of the organisms to complementary molecules on mucosal surfaces, the receptors. Important human and animal pathogens are found among the Pasteurellaceae family which includes Haemophilus ...

MAAP: Malarial adhesins and adhesin‐like proteins predictor

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2008
AbstractMalaria caused by protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium is a dreaded disease, second only to tuberculosis. The emergence of parasites resistant to commonly used drugs and the lack of availability of vaccines aggravates the problem. One of the preventive approaches targets adhesion of parasites to host cells and tissues. Adhesion

Clostridium difficile Adhesins

2016
Clostridium difficile is responsible for a large spectrum of intestinal diseases ranging from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis depending on the one hand on the strain virulence and on the other on the host. The pathogenesis of C. difficile infection could be seen as a three-step process that takes place after disruption of the digestive microbiota by ...

Adhesins of Escherichia coli

Acta Biotechnologica, 1990
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, 2012
Pathogenic 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.
