Capsule shields the function of short bacterial adhesins [PDF]
Bacterial surface structures such as capsules and adhesins are generally regarded as important virulence factors. Here we demonstrate that capsules block the function of the self-recognizing protein antigen 43 through physical shielding.

Bacterial capsules: no barrier against Bdellovibrio [PDF]
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 109J attached to both capsulated and noncapsulated Escherichia coli K29 cells. Electron microscopy revealed penetration of the thick polysaccharide capsule without any major disintegration of the neighbouring capsular matrix.

Systemic availability and metabolism of colonic-derived short-chain fatty acids in healthy subjects: a stable isotope study [PDF]
The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), acetate, propionate and butyrate, are bacterial metabolites that mediate the interaction between the diet, the microbiota and the host.

Adhesion of coagulase-negative staphylococci to methacrylate polymers and copolymers [PDF]
Adhesion of coagulasef-negative staphylococci (CNS) was studied onto a homologous series of methacrylate polymers and copolymers. The materials varied in wettability (contact angles) and were either positively or negatively charged (zetapotential ...

First large scale application with self-healing concrete in Belgium : analysis of the laboratory control tests [PDF]
Due to the negative impact of construction processes on the environment and a decrease in investments, there is a need for concrete structures to operate longer while maintaining their high performance.
