Plant Natural Products Targeting Bacterial Virulence Factors

Chemical Reviews, 2016
Decreased antimicrobial efficiency has become a global public health issue. The paucity of new antibacterial drugs is evident, and the arsenal against infectious diseases needs to be improved urgently. The selection of plants as a source of prototype compounds is appropriate, since plant species naturally produce a wide range of secondary metabolites ...

Quorum-Sensing Regulation of Virulence Factors in Bacterial Biofilm

Future Microbiology, 2021
Chronic polymicrobial wound infections are often characterized by the presence of bacterial biofilms. They show considerable structural and functional heterogeneity, which influences the choice of antimicrobial therapy and wound healing dynamics. The hallmarks of biofilm-associated bacterial infections include elevated antibiotic resistance and extreme

Subgingival microorganisms and bacterial virulence factors in periodontitis

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1985
Abstract –Considerable information has come forth in recent years on the pathogenic organisms in human periodontilis and the sequence of events by which they produce periodontal disease. Important pcriodontopatliogens include Bactcroidcs gingivalis, Bactcroidcs intcnnedius and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Virulence factors of B. gingivalis and

Virulence factors in anaerobic bacteri

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1992
Various surface structures can be expressed in Bacteroides fragilis, but little is known about capsular structures in other non-spore-forming anaerobes. Fimbriae have been isolated from Bacteroides fragilis and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The importance of iron-repressible outer membrane proteins as virulence factors in Bacteroides fragilis is under ...

Calmodulin-activated bacterial adenylate cyclases as virulence factors

Trends in Microbiology, 1993
Bordetella pertussis and Bacillus anthracis each produce a virulence-associated, calmodulin-dependent adenylate cyclase toxin, which generates increased levels of cyclic AMP in eukaryotic cells. The two proteins share sequence similarities in their catalytic domains.

Virulence Factors of the Bacterial Cell Surface

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1978
Bacterial surface structures are related to properties of virulence. Although these antigens can be associated with invasiveness, resistance to phagocytosis, and intestinal colonization, no single factor or antigen determines pathogenicity. Among the Enterobacteriaceae there are two categories of surface antigens, those composed of polysaccharide and ...
