Staphylococcus aureus Colonization of the Mouse Gastrointestinal Tract Is Modulated by Wall Teichoic Acid, Capsule, and Surface Proteins. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the nose, throat, skin, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract of humans. GI carriage of S. aureus is difficult to eradicate and has been shown to facilitate the transmission of the bacterium among individuals.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Immunogenic potential of biogenic vs. synthetic selenium nanoparticles in vaccine candidate against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Vaccine: X
MRSA-related antimicrobial-resistant infections are a significant public health issue. Vaccination can prevent infection by inducing pathogen immunity. The surface-associated protein autolysin is a promising vaccination candidate. This study investigated

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Autolysin N617 Deamidation as a Molecular Target of Chelerythrine in Methicillin-Resistant

Natural Product Communications
Objective Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major clinical challenge due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics. Chelerythrine, a natural benzophenanthridine alkaloid, shows antibacterial activity against MRSA, but its precise ...

Cell Envelope Remodeling and Lipid Metabolism Coordinate Extracellular Vesicle Output in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a leading global cause of death due to the pathogen's highly adaptive physiology and its ability to manipulate host immunity. Despite extensive study, our understanding of Mtb biology during infection remains incomplete, limiting the development of new diagnostics ...

Lytic transglycosylases: Bacterial space-making autolysins

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2008
Lytic transglycosylases are an important class of bacterial enzymes that act on peptidoglycan with the same substrate specificity as lysozyme. Unlike the latter enzymes, however, the lytic transglycosylases are not hydrolases but instead cleave the glycosidic linkage between N-actetylmuramoyl and N-acetylglucosaminyl residues with the concomitant ...

Virulence Associated Morphology of Different Strains of Melissococcus plutonius, a Brood Pathogen of Honey Bees

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study explores the diversity in cell morphology and growth behaviours of three Melissococcus plutonius strains, the causative agent of European foulbrood, employing electron microscopy and expression analysis of glycan‐binding protein candidate genes. Our results illustrate the mechanism of cell separation and the formation of individual cocci and

PRODIGIOSIN INDUCES AUTOLYSINS IN ACTIVELY GROWN Bacillus subtilis CELLS

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Prodigiosin produced by marine bacterium Vibrio ruber DSM 14379 exhibits a potent antimicrobial activity against a broad range of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The mechanism of prodigiosin antimicrobial action, however, is not known.
