mBio, 2016 The first step in the infection of humans by microbial pathogens is their adherence to host tissue cells, which is frequently based on the binding of carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectin-like adhesins) to human cell receptors that expose glycans.

Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy of Mycobacterial Adhesin-Adhesin Interactions [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2007 ABSTRACT The heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA) is one of the few virulence factors identified for Mycobacterium tuberculosis . It is a surface-associated adhesin that expresses a number of different activities, including mycobacterial adhesion to nonphagocytic cells and microbial aggregation.

A molecular analysis of non-fimbrial adhesins in uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
, 1991 Bacterial adherence is one of the most important virulence factors in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections. The majority of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli adhere to uroepithelial cells via specific organelles known as fimbriae or pili ...

Capsule shields the function of short bacterial adhesins [PDF]
, 2004 Bacterial surface structures such as capsules and adhesins are generally regarded as important virulence factors. Here we demonstrate that capsules block the function of the self-recognizing protein antigen 43 through physical shielding.

mSphere, 2020 Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a major cause of foodborne gastrointestinal illness. The adhesion of EHEC to host tissues is the first step enabling bacterial colonization. Adhesins such as fimbriae and flagella mediate this process.

Evolution of host-microbe cell adherence by receptor domain shuffling
eLife, 2022 Stable adherence to epithelial surfaces is required for colonization by diverse host-associated microbes. Successful attachment of pathogenic microbes to host cells via adhesin molecules is also the first step in many devastating infections.

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.

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...
