Preferential Packing of Acidic Glycosidases and Proteases into
mBio, 2014 Outer membrane vesicles (OMV) are spherical membranous structures released from the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria. OMV have been proposed to play several different roles during both pathogenesis and symbiosis.

Analysis of the Zinc Finger Domain of TnpA, a DNA Targeting Protein Encoded by Mobilizable Transposon Tn4555 [PDF]
, 2007 The mobilizable transposon Tn4555, found in Bacteroides spp., is an important antibiotic resistance element encoding a broad spectrum beta-lactamase. Tn4555 is mobilized by conjugative transposons such as CTn341 which can transfer the transposon to a ...

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 649-659, February 2026.ABSTRACT The sodium‐pumping ubiquinone oxidoreductase sodium pumping quinone reductase (NQR) is an important enzyme in the respiratory chain of multiple pathogenic gram‐negative bacteria. NQR has been proposed as a viable antibiotic target due to its importance in supporting energy‐consuming reactions and its absence in human cells.

The search for conjugative transposon in rumen bacterium Prevotella bryantii B14
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2009 Only few plasmids and bacteriophages have been described to date in ruminal prevotella strains, therefore it appears plausible that the genetic exchange in these organisms must exploit other routes.

The role of the gut microbiota in colorectal cancer causation [PDF]
, 2019 Here, we reviewed emerging evidence on the role of the microbial community in colorectal carcinogenesis. A healthy gut microbiota promotes intestinal homeostasis and can exert anti-cancer effects; however, this microbiota also produces a variety of ...

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PARIETAL MICROFLORA IN CHILDREN WITH NON-SPECIFIC ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Педиатрическая фармакология, 2010 One of the key factors driving the development of non-specific ulcerative colitis (NSUC) is the intestinal microflora. The dominant composition of the parietal microflora was studied (Clostridium coccoides, Clostridium leptum, Bacteroides fragilis ...
