Comparative proteomics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli during growth in human urine identify UCA-like (UCL) fimbriae as an adherence factor involved in biofilm formation and binding to uroepithelial cells [PDF]
, 2015 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. For the successful colonisation of the human urinary tract, UPEC employ a diverse collection of secreted or surface-exposed virulence factors ...

Cell entry mechanism of enzymatic bacterial colicins: Porin recruitment and the thermodynamics of receptor binding [PDF]
, 2005 Binding of enzymatic E colicins to the vitamin B-12 receptor, BtuB, is the first stage in a cascade of events that culminate in the translocation of the cytotoxic nuclease into the Escherichia coli cytoplasm and release of its tightly bound immunity ...

Indole contributes to tetracycline resistance via the outer membrane protein OmpN in Vibrio splendidus [PDF]
, 2020 As an interspecies and interkingdom signaling molecule, indole has recently received attention for its diverse effects on the physiology of both bacteria and hosts. In this study, indole increased the tetracycline resistance of Vibrio splendidus.

Mechanisms of Bacterial Extracellular Electron Exchange. [PDF]
, 2016 The biochemical mechanisms by which microbes interact with extracellular soluble metal ions and insoluble redox-active minerals have been the focus of intense research over the last three decades. The process presents two challenges to the microorganism;

Discovery of an archetypal protein transport system in bacterial outer membranes
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2012 Bacteria have mechanisms to export proteins for diverse purposes, including colonization of hosts and pathogenesis. A small number of archetypal bacterial secretion machines have been found in several groups of bacteria and mediate a fundamentally distinct secretion process. Perhaps erroneously, proteins called 'autotransporters' have long been thought
