Reversibility and mechanism of bacterial adhesion

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 1995
Abstract The reversibility and mechanisms of adhesion of various pseudomonads and coryneform bacteria having different hydrophobicities and negative cell surface charges on negatively charged Teflon and glass were studied. Adhesion at an ionic strength of 0.1 M was irreversible and corresponded to activation Gibbs energies for detachment higher than ...

Quantification of Bacterial Attachment to Tissue Sections

Bio-Protocol, 2018
Here we describe a method to test bacterial adhesion to paraffin embedded tissue sections. This method allows examining binding of different bacterial strains, transfected with a fluorescent protein reporter plasmid to various tissues, to better ...

A Real-Time Thermal Sensor System for Quantifying the Inhibitory Effect of Antimicrobial Peptides on Bacterial Adhesion and Biofilm Formation

Sensors, 2021
The increasing rate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pathogenic bacteria is a global threat to human and veterinary medicine. Beyond antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) might be an alternative to inhibit the growth of bacteria, including AMR ...

Bacterial-epithelial contact is a key determinant of host innate immune responses to enteropathogenic and enteroaggregative escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Enteroaggregative (EAEC) E. coli have similar, but distinct clinical symptoms and modes of pathogenesis. Nevertheless when they infect the gastrointestinal tract, it is thought that their flagellin causes IL-8 ...

Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on linen fabrics: Exploring the influence of textile factors

Industrial Crops and Products
Natural fibres are increasingly valued for their sustainability, comfort, and potential health benefits. Linen is often assumed to possess inherent antibacterial properties, yet evidence remains inconsistent.

Hydrophilic polymer‐coated PVC surface for reduced cell and bacterial adhesions

Biosurface and Biotribology, 2022
Hydrophilic polymers are very useful in biomedical applications. In this study, biocompatible polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymers end‐capped with succinimidyl groups were either modified or synthesised and attached to ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Influence of the nano-micro structure of the surface on bacterial adhesion

Materials Research, 2007
Biomaterials failures are frequently associated to the formation of bacterial biofilms on the surface. The aim of this work is to study the adhesion of non motile bacteria streptococci consortium and motile Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
