PLoS Genetics, 2015 Colicins are plasmid-encoded narrow spectrum antibiotics that are synthesized by strains of Escherichia coli and govern intraspecies competition. In a previous report, we demonstrated that the global transcriptional factor IscR, co dependently with the ...

Colicins of the Escherichia coli uropathogenic strain collection
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2006 110 uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains were screened for colicin production and 42 (38%) of the tested UPEC strains were found to be colicinogenic.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 3, Page 781-805, February 2026.Expression of the LEA‐K peptide in E. coli BL21 (DE3) improved bacterial viability under acidic stress (pH4), suggesting a protective function. RNA‐sequencing of LEA‐K‐expressing vs. non‐expressing cells revealed 283 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In silico docking linked LEA‐K to two‐component systems (TCS) proteins (Rcs, BtsS/R, and EnvZ/OmpR)

Colicins and Salmocins – New Classes of Plant-Made Non-antibiotic Food Antibacterials
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Recently, several plant-made recombinant proteins received favorable regulatory review as food antibacterials in the United States through the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) regulatory procedure, and applications for others are pending.

The Subgingival Host–Microbial Landscape in Mothers With Periodontitis and Their At‐Risk Offspring
Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 201-213, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the subgingival proteome and microbiome of mothers with periodontitis and their offspring, thereby assessing signatures of periodontal diseases. Methods Forty participants in four groups were included: mothers with periodontitis and their offspring, as well as periodontally healthy mothers and their offspring.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.The LPS core is critical for virulence in Pectobacterium carotovorum, as its truncation disrupts outer membrane protein assembly, reducing protease secretion, motility, and soft rot symptoms. ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a critical component of the bacterial outer membrane, which serves as a permeability barrier and site for sensing ...

Mode of Action of Colicin A [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1969 Colicin A acting on sensitive cells of Escherichia coli inhibits a number of energy-requiring cellular functions. It appears to act similarly to colicins E1 and K.

Deciphering the Role of Colicins during Colonization of the Mammalian Gut by Commensal E. coli
Microorganisms, 2020 Colicins are specific and potent toxins produced by Enterobacteriaceae that result in the rapid elimination of sensitive cells. Colicin production is commonly found throughout microbial populations, suggesting its potential importance for bacterial ...

, 1998 The pore-forming colicins N and A require the porin, OmpF, in order to translocate across the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. We investigated the hypothesis that in vivo, colicins N and A may traverse the outer membrane through the OmpF channel.
