Evidence for a Role of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus gallolyticus in the Aetiology of Exudative Cloacitis in the Critically Endangered Kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus)

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The kākāpō is a critically endangered flightless parrot which suffers from exudative cloacitis, a debilitating disease resulting in inflammation of the vent margin or cloaca. Despite this disease emerging over 20 years ago, the cause of exudative cloacitis remains elusive.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL exacerbates orthotopic allograft transplantation vasculopathy via impairment of endothelial cell function

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Streptococcus mutans Collagen‐Binding Protein Cnm Is a Multifunctional Adhesin: A Structural Investigation

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The collagen‐binding adhesin Cnm is a known virulence factor of Streptococcus mutans. It is present in specific serotypes (mostly e, f, and k strains) of S. mutans and belongs to the LPXTG family of cell wall‐anchored surface adhesins. Here, we report the crystal structure of the collagen‐binding N2 domain of S. mutans Cnm.
