Drug suppression of bacterial adhesion in respiratory infections

Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2018
The adhesion of bacteria on the mucosa of the respiratory tract is realized by the functioning of various mechanisms. One of them is the formation of thread-like protein organelles, known as pili (fimbriae or villi).

Bacterial endotoxin adhesion to different types of orthodontic adhesives [PDF]

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2017
The aim of this study was to assess whether LPS adheres to orthodontic adhesive systems, comparing two commercial brands.Forty specimens were fabricated from Transbond XT and Light Bond composite and bonding agent components (n=10/component), then contaminated by immersion in a bacterial endotoxin solution.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Bacterial adhesion

As mentioned in the introduction of this thesis bacterial adhesion has been studied from a variety of (mostly practice oriented) starting points. This has resulted in a range of widely divergent approaches. In order to elucidate general principles in bacterial adhesion phenomena, we felt it was necessary to start from a fundamental level i.e.

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 ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Study of the Factors Involved in the Adhesion Process of Salmonella enterica Enteritidis, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus to the Surface of Apple, Arugula, Cucumber, and Strawberry

Foods
Bacterial contamination of fresh produce remains a global food safety concern, with pathogens such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus frequently implicated in foodborne outbreaks. Understanding the physicochemical factors involved

Bone Environment Influences Irreversible Adhesion of a Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Strain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Prosthesis and joint infections are an important threat in public health, especially due to the development of bacterial biofilms and their high resistance to antimicrobials. Biofilm-associated infections increase mortality and morbidity rates as well as

Effect of Surface Roughness of Deciduous and Permanent Tooth Enamel on Bacterial Adhesion

Microorganisms, 2022
The adhesion of some bacteria has been attributed to critical levels of roughness in hard tissues, which increases the risk of developing caries.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...
