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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Inhibition of bacterial adhesion and anti-biofilm effects of Bacillus cereus and Serratia nematodiphila biosurfactants against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesIranian Journal of Microbiology, 2023
Background and Objectives: Biosurfactants are amphiphilic surface-active agents that mainly produced by various microorganisms. In this study, the anti-biofilm and inhibition of bacterial adhesion activities of two bacterial biosurfactants were ...

Surface characteristics influencing bacterial adhesion to polymeric substrates

open access: yes, 2017
Superhydrophobic surfaces have been reported to reduce bacterial adhesion, but interactions between bacterial media and solid surfaces at the interface have rarely been associated with the solid area fraction (f) from the Cassie–Baxter wetting state ...
