The bias of experimental design, including strain background, in the determination of critical Streptococcus suis serotype 2 virulence factors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an important porcine bacterial pathogen and emerging zoonotic agent mainly responsible for sudden death, septic shock, and meningitis. However, serotype 2 strains are genotypically and phenotypically heterogeneous. Though

Protease treatment affects both invasion ability and biofilm formation in Listeria monocytogenes
, 2008 Listeria monocytogenes is a notably invasive bacterium associated with life-threatening food-borne disease in humans. Several surface proteins have been shown to be essential in the adhesion of L.

Biomolecular mechanisms of staphylococcal biofilm formation [PDF]
, 2013 The multitude of biomolecular and regulatory factors involved in staphylococcal adhesion and biofilm formation owe much to their ability to colonize surfaces, allowing the biofilm form to become the preferential bacterial phenotype.

LytR-CpsA-Psr proteins in Staphylococcus aureus display partial functional redundancy and the deletion of all three severely impairs septum placement and cell separation [PDF]
, 2017 Staphylococcus aureus contains three members of the LytR-CpsA-Psr (LCP) family of membrane proteins: MsrR, SA0908 and SA2103. The characterization of single-, double- and triple-deletion mutants revealed distinct phenotypes for each of the three proteins.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 715-756, September/October 2025.Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Many bacteria produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) that play critical roles in various biological processes and hold significant potential for biomedical applications. However, the mechanisms underlying EV biogenesis remain incompletely understood.

Differential localization of LTA synthesis proteins and their interaction with the cell division machinery in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2014 Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall component of Gram-positive bacteria. In Staphylococcus aureus it consists of a polyglycerolphosphate-chain that is retained within the membrane via a glycolipid.
