Pneumococcal Surface Protein A (PspA) has been successfully tested as vaccine candidate against Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. Vaccines able to induce PspA-specific antibodies and Th1 cytokines usually provide protection in mice. We have shown that

Bordetella spp. form biofilms in the mouse nasopharynx, thereby providing a potential mechanism for establishing chronic infections in humans and animals. Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) is a major virulence factor of B. pertussis, the causative agent of

The hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of influenza virus binds host cell receptors and mediates viral entry. Here we present cryo-EM structures of fully glycosylated HAs from H5N1 and H5N8 influenza viruses. We find that the H5N1 HA can form filaments that
