Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 The Gram-positive bacterial pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major global health threat that kills over one million people worldwide. The pneumococcus commonly colonizes the nasopharynx asymptomatically as a commensal, but is also capable of ...

Bacterial communication through membrane vesicles [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2019 ABSTRACT Bacteria can communicate through diffusible signaling molecules that are perceived by cognate receptors. It is now well established that bacterial communication regulates hundreds of genes. Hydrophobic molecules which do not diffuse in aqueous environments alone have been identified in bacterial communication, that raised the ...

Membrane vesicle-mediated release of bacterial RNA [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractMany Gram-negative bacterial species release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that interact with the host by delivering virulence factors. Here, we report for the first time that RNA is among the wide variety of bacterial components that are associated with OMVs. To characterize the RNA profiles of bacterial OMVs, we performed RNA deep sequencing

Energetics and Mechanism of Drug Transport Mediated by the Lactococcal Multidrug Transporter LmrP [PDF]
, 1996 The gene encoding the secondary multidrug transporter LmrP of Lactococcus lactis was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The energetics and mechanism of drug extrusion mediated by LmrP were studied in membrane vesicles of E. coli. LmrP-mediated
