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.

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.

Adhesins in Candida glabrata

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

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.

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.

Recognition of specific sialoglycan structures by oral streptococci impacts the severity of endocardial infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Streptococcus gordonii and Streptococcus sanguinis are primary colonizers of the tooth surface. Although generally non-pathogenic in the oral environment, they are a frequent cause of infective endocarditis.

Serine Protease Autotransporters of the Enterobacteriaceae (SPATEs): Out and About and Chopping It Up

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2019
Autotransporters are secreted proteins with multiple functions produced by a variety of Gram-negative bacteria. In Enterobacteriaceae, a subgroup of these autotransporters are the SPATEs (serine protease autotransporters of Enterobacteriaceae).

Adhesin–receptor interactions in Pasteurellaceae [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 ...

Exploring the Secretomes of Microbes and Microbial Communities Using Filamentous Phage Display

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Microbial surface and secreted proteins (the secretome) contain a large number of proteins that interact with other microbes, host and/or environment. These proteins are exported by the coordinated activities of the protein secretion machinery present in
