Identification of a collagen type I adhesin of Bacteroides fragilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bacteroides fragilis is an opportunistic pathogen which can cause life threatening infections in humans and animals. The ability to adhere to components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen, is related to bacterial host colonisation.

CAT‐BLAST: Engineered bacteria for robust targeting and elimination of cancer‐associated fibroblasts
iMeta, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) construct a protective stromal barrier that promotes tumor growth and resistance to therapy. To dismantle this, we developed CAT‐BLAST, an engineered bacterial platform designed to potently eliminate these cells. We engineered a safe, high‐expression E.

Adhesins in the virulence of opportunistic fungal pathogens of human
Mycology, 2021 Aspergillosis, candidiasis, and cryptococcosis are the most common cause of mycoses-related disease and death among immune-compromised patients. Adhesins are cell-surface exposed proteins or glycoproteins of pathogens that bind to the extracellular ...
