Essential role of calcium in extending RTX adhesins to their target

open access: yesJournal 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.

Bacterial Adhesins in Host-Microbe Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Most commensal and pathogenic bacteria interacting with eukaryotic hosts express adhesive molecules on their surfaces that promote interaction with host cell receptors or with soluble macromolecules.

Comparative genomics study of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cattle and humans reveals virulence patterns exclusively associated with bovine clinical mastitis strains

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Staphylococcus aureus causes nosocomial and intramammary infections in humans and cattle, respectively. A large number of virulence factors are thought to play important roles in the pathogenesis of this bacterium.

Binding Strength of Gram-Positive Bacterial Adhesins

open access: yes, 2020
Bacterial pathogens are equipped with specialized surface-exposed proteins that bind strongly to ligands on host tissues and biomaterials. These adhesins play critical roles during infection, especially during the early step of adhesion where the cells ...

Purification of a mycobacterial adhesin for fibronectin [PDF]

open access: yesInfection 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 ...

MecVax supplemented with CFA MEFA-II induces functional antibodies against 12 adhesins (CFA/I, CS1–CS7, CS12, CS14, CS17, and CS21) and 2 toxins (STa, LT) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains that produce various adhesins and one or two enterotoxins are the leading causes of children’s diarrhea and travelers’ diarrhea.

Expression and Functional Characterization of Various Chaperon-Usher Fimbriae, Curli Fimbriae, and Type 4 Pili of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Sakai

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a highly pathogenic strain leading to hemorrhagic colitis and to the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) in humans. The mechanisms by which pathogenic E.

Variation in the Distribution of Putative Virulence and Colonization Factors in Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Isolated from Different Categories of Cattle

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are pathogens of significant public health concern. Several studies have confirmed that cattle are the main reservoir of STEC in Argentina and other countries.

Comparative functional genomic analysis of Pasteurellaceae adhesins using phage display [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Pasteurellaceae contain a number of important animal pathogens. Although related, the various members of this family cause a diversity of pathology in a wide variety of organ systems. Adhesion is an important virulence factor in bacterial infections.
