The In Vitro Replication Cycle of Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Identification of Virulence Genes Associated with Cytotoxicity in Macrophages

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an opportunistic pathogen implicated in a wide variety of human infections including the ability to colonize the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The role of A.

Promising Approach to Inhibit E. coli FimH Adhesion by C-Linked Mannosides

Proceedings, 2019
Antagonists of the uropathogenic Escherichia coli type-1 fimbrial adhesin (FimH) are recognized as attractive alternatives for antibiotic therapies and prophylactic strategies against acute and recurrent bacterial infections. [...]

The Giant Adhesin SiiE of Salmonella enterica

Molecules, 2015
Salmonella enterica is a Gram-negative, food-borne pathogen, which colonizes the intestinal tract and invades enterocytes. Invasion of polarized cells depends on the SPI1-encoded type III secretion system (T3SS) and the SPI4-encoded type I secretion ...

VlsE, the nexus for antigenic variation of the Lyme disease spirochete, also mediates early bacterial attachment to the host microvasculature under shear force.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Hematogenous dissemination is a critical step in the evolution of local infection to systemic disease. The Lyme disease (LD) spirochete, which efficiently disseminates to multiple tissues, has provided a model for this process, in particular for the key ...

Escherichia coli FimH adhesins act synergistically with PapGII adhesins for enhancing establishment and maintenance of kidney infection

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022
Background: FimH adhesin is proposed to enhance Escherichia coli kidney infection by acting with PapGII adhesin, but genetic epidemiology study and animal study have not been widely conducted to confirm this hypothesis.

Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis and an important factor in premature and stillbirths. Biofilm production has been suggested to be important for GBS pathogenesis alongside many other elements ...

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...
