We previously reported that the strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EcO157) that survived longer in austere soil environment lacked expression of curli, a fitness trait linked with intestinal colonization.

Engineered Curli Nanofilaments as a Self‐Adjuvanted Antigen Delivery Platform
Proteinaceous nanoparticles constitute efficient antigen delivery systems in vaccine formulations due to their size and repetitive nature that mimic most invading pathogens and promote immune activation.

Combining FUCA, CURLI, and Weighting Methods in the Decision-Making of Selecting Technical Products
Determining the optimal one from the available alternatives is useful in numerous aspects of life. The process of selecting technical products from an available catalog also follows this pattern.

The relationship between amyloid structure and cytotoxicity [PDF]
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

Small regulatory RNAs control the multi-cellular adhesive lifestyle of Escherichia coli [PDF]
Small regulatory RNA molecules have recently been recognized as important regulatory elements of developmental processes in both eukaryotes and bacteria. We here describe a striking example in Escherichia coli that can switch between a single-cell motile

Draft Genome Sequence of anEnterobacterSpecies Associated with Illnesses and Powdered Infant Formula [PDF]
This is the first report of the draft genome sequence of an Enterobacter species that may have been transmitted from powdered infant formula (PIF) to infants, resulting in illness. Enterobacter spp. are currently permitted in PIF, but the transmission of

A Comprehensive Review of the Multitarget Effects of Subinhibitory Concentrations of Essential Oils Against Salmonella. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Essential oils (EOs) exhibit antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens due to their chemical composition. This review investigates the mechanisms of action of EOs at subinhibitory concentrations against Salmonella strains. Even at subinhibitory concentrations, EOs induce cellular stress and modulate bacterial metabolism. EOs interfere
