A mechanism for extremely weak SpaP-expression in Streptococcus mutans strain Z1
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2011 Background: Streptococcus mutans surface-protein antigen (SpaP, PAc, or antigen I/II) has been well known to play an important role in initial attachment to tooth surfaces.

Journal of Fungi, 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. glabrata only grows in the yeast form, so it is lacking a yeast-to-hyphae switch, which is one of the main virulence factors of C ...

Essential role of calcium in extending RTX adhesins to their target
Journal of Structural Biology: X, 2020 RTX adhesins are long, multi-domain proteins present on the outer membrane of many Gram-negative bacteria. From this vantage point, adhesins use their distal ligand-binding domains for surface attachment leading to biofilm formation.

Nippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 2013 Oral streptococci comprise a numerically prominent group of oral bacteria that occur primarily on the human tooth surface as members of the biofilm community, commonly referred to as dental plaque. These streptococci are not only causative of dental caries and are primers for colonization of periodontopathic bacteria, but also well known for their ...

Purification of a mycobacterial adhesin for fibronectin [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1993 Previous studies have demonstrated that mycobacteria attach to fibronectin (FN). The attachment of mycobacteria to FN is considered to be biologically important in Mycobacterium bovis BCG therapy for superficial bladder cancer, initiation of delayed hypersensitivity to mycobacterial antigens, and the phagocytosis of mycobacteria by epithelial cells ...
