Biomolecules, 2018 Escherichia coli strains may be beneficial or pathogenic. Many E. coli strains that cause human disease, especially those responsible for bacteremia and sepsis, express virulence factors that impart resistance to the complement system.

The relationship between amyloid structure and cytotoxicity [PDF]
, 2014 Self-assembly of proteins and peptides into amyloid structures has been the subject of intense and focused research due to their association with neurodegenerative, age-related human diseases and transmissible prion diseases in humans and mammals. Of the

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Our previous study showed that the inactivation of the efflux pump TolC could abolish biofilm formation and curli production of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strain PPECC42 under hyper-osmotic conditions.

Cell surface-localized CsgF condensate is a gatekeeper in bacterial curli subunit secretion
Nature Communications, 2023 Curli are functional amyloids present on the outer membrane of E. coli. CsgF is required for the proper assembly of curli. Here, we found that the CsgF phase separates in vitro and that the ability of CsgF variants to phase-separate is tightly correlated

Curli Biogenesis and Function [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2006 Curli are the major proteinaceous component of a complex extracellular matrix produced by many Enterobacteriaceae. Curli were first discovered in the late 1980s on Escherichia coli strains that caused bovine mastitis, and have since been implicated in many physiological and pathogenic processes of E. coli and Salmonella spp.

Periodontitis, microbiomes and their role in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
, 2017 As far back as the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, microbial infections were responsible for vast numbers of deaths. The trend reversed with the introduction of antibiotics coinciding with longer life.
