Adaptation in a Fibronectin Binding Autolysin of
Human-pathogenic bacteria are found in a variety of niches, including free-living, zoonotic, and microbiome environments. Identifying bacterial adaptations that enable invasive disease is an important means of gaining insight into the molecular basis of ...

Enterococcal biofilm formation and virulence in an optimized murine model of foreign body-associated urinary tract infections [PDF]
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) constitute the majority of nosocomial UTIs and pose significant clinical challenges. Enterococcal species are among the predominant causative agents of CAUTIs.

Dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an essential role in the development of immature permanent teeth. Bacterial infection of the pulp and periapical tissues of immature permanent teeth, the associated oral pathogens, and their virulence factors affect the viability, proliferation, differentiation, and cytokine secretion of MSCs.

Microbiological and Clinical Significance of a New Property of Defective Lysis in Clinical Strains of Pneumococci [PDF]
A pneumococcal isolate that caused relapsing meningitis in a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was found to display an unusual response to penicillin - rapid death but a striking lack of cellular lysis.

A NIMA-related kinase suppresses the flagellar instability associated with the loss of multiple axonemal structures [PDF]
CCDC39 and CCDC40 were first identified as causative mutations in primary ciliary dyskinesia patients; cilia from patients show disorganized microtubules, and they are missing both N-DRC and inner dynein arms proteins.

Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. In the period covered by this Statement, no new information was found that would change the status of previously recommended QPS taxonomic units (TUs).

High Level Expression and Purification of Atl, the Major Autolytic Protein of Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human and animal pathogen. Autolysins regulate the growth, turnover, cell lysis, biofilm formation, and the pathogenicity of S. aureus. Atl is the major autolysin in S. aureus.

Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus infections to consider in designing an effective vaccine. [PDF]
_Staphylococcus aureus_ is a very versatile and adaptable microorganism. It can potentially infect virtually any host tissue. Given the appropriate conditions it can become a life-threatening pathogen, or a commensal colonizer of the nose.
