The Varied Role of Efflux Pumps of the MFS Family in the Interplay of Bacteria with Animal and Plant Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Efflux pumps represent an important and large group of transporter proteins found in all organisms. The importance of efflux pumps resides in their ability to extrude a wide range of antibiotics, resulting in the emergence of multidrug resistance in many

Surface sensing in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2019 Adhesion of the bacterium Escherichia coli to a surface can lead to initiation of biofilm formation, which is a medically relevant process. However, little is known about how adhesion is perceived and which surface sensing systems are involved.

How bacteria recognise and respond to surface contact [PDF]
, 2020 Bacterial biofilms can cause medical problems and issues in technical systems. While a large body of knowledge exists on the phenotypes of planktonic and of sessile cells in mature biofilms, our understanding of what happens when bacteria change from the

Development and validation of a high-throughput cell-based screen to identify activators of a bacterial two-component signal transduction system [PDF]
, 2015 CpxRA is a two-component signal transduction system (2CSTS) found in many drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In response to periplasmic stress, CpxA autophosphorylates and donates a phosphoryl group to its cognate response regulator, CpxR ...
