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.

Interkingdom Interactions in the Gut: Ecological Mechanisms, Homeostasis, and Therapeutic Modulation
Gut Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut microbiota constitutes a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem that profoundly influences host physiology, metabolism, and immunity. This review provides an integrative overview of the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms—particularly bacteria and fungi—interact with host cells and with each other to maintain intestinal ...

Glyco‐Nanogels for Modulating Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Nanogels presenting α‐galactose and β‐fucose can significantly alter Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm dynamics through their interaction with lectins. Application timing is crucial: pre‐treatment reduces biofilm, while treatment after biofilm initiation increases biomass.

Bacterial adhesins: function and structure
International 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. Host specificity and tissue tropism are characteristics exhibited by different bacteria and are determined (at least in part) by ...
