Dynamic interactions of a conserved enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli adhesin with intestinal mucins govern epithelium engagement and toxin delivery [PDF]

, 2016
At present, there is no vaccine for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), an important cause of diarrheal illness. Nevertheless, recent microbial pathogenesis studies have identified a number of molecules produced by ETEC that contribute to its ...

Design and Characterization of Prodrugged Anti‐CTLA‐4 Antibodies

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Masking an anti‐CTLA‐4 antibody by conjugating a large PEG molecule to specific sites is explored as a way of mitigating undesirable activity in nontarget tissues. This prodrugged antibody exhibits reduced binding to CTLA‐4 and Fc gamma receptors, demonstrated high stability, and had an extended half‐life in a mouse model, potentially improving the ...

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]

, 2020
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

SinR Controls Enterotoxin Expression in Bacillus thuringiensis Biofilms

PLoS ONE, 2014
The entomopathogen Bacillus thuringiensis produces dense biofilms under various conditions. Here, we report that the transition phase regulators Spo0A, AbrB and SinR control biofilm formation and swimming motility in B.
