Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanoscale proteoliposomes secreted from the cell envelope of all Gram-negative bacteria. Originally considered as an artifact of the cell wall, OMVs are now recognized as a general secretion system, which serves to ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plant bacterial disease is a complex outcome achieved through a combination of virulence factors that are activated during infection. However, the common virulence factors across diverse plant pathogens are largely uncharacterized. Here, we established a

Genomic and ecological attributes of marine bacteriophages encoding bacterial virulence genes
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Bacteriophages encode genes that modify bacterial functions during infection. The acquisition of phage-encoded virulence genes is a major mechanism for the rise of bacterial pathogens.

Eukaryotic Targets of a Bacterial Protein Kinase Virulence Factor [PDF]
The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2002 INTRODUCTION. Several animaland plant-interacting Gram-negative bacteria possess the socalled type III secretion system or TTSS, which functions to inject proteins (or ‘effectors’) directly into eukaryotic cells[1]. TTSS effectors play important roles in a variety of host-microbe interactions including Rhizobium-mediated root nodulation, plant ...

Lysine polyphosphate modifications contribute to virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
mBioInorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a universally conserved polymer involved in various biological processes, but its role as a direct protein regulator remains largely unexplored.

MODERN APPROACHES TO ANTIVIRULENT THERAPY OF DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
Проблеми екології та медицини, 2019 Staphylococcus aureus is a universal bacterial pathogen, which is able to develop the resistance to new antibiotics, by means of virulence factors, whose main function is the spread of diseases by inhibiting the immune factors of host defense.

mSphere of Influence: If virulence is energetically costly, how can it be maintained?
mSphere, 2023 Kimberly Davis works in the field of bacterial pathogenesis and studies heterogeneity in bacterial populations within host tissues. In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how the paper “Stabilization of cooperative virulence by the ...

Challenges in Drug Discovery for Intracellular Bacteria
Pathogens, 2021 Novel drugs are needed to treat a variety of persistent diseases caused by intracellular bacterial pathogens. Virulence pathways enable many functions required for the survival of these pathogens, including invasion, nutrient acquisition, and immune ...

Gram-Negative Bacterial Sensors for Eukaryotic Signal Molecules
Sensors, 2009 Ample evidence exists showing that eukaryotic signal molecules synthesized and released by the host can activate the virulence of opportunistic pathogens. The sensitivity of prokaryotes to host signal molecules requires the presence of bacterial sensors.

Pseudmonas cannabina pv. alisalensis TrpA Is Required for Virulence in Multiple Host Plants
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Pseudomonas cannabina pv. alisalensis (Pcal) causes bacterial leaf spot and blight of Brassicaceae and Poaceae. We previously identified several potential Pcal virulence factors with transposon mutagenesis.
