Highly conserved type 1 pili promote enterotoxigenic E. coli pathogen-host interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), defined by their elaboration of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins, are a common cause of diarrheal illness in developing countries.

High levels of cyclic di-GMP in Klebsiella pneumoniae attenuate virulence in the lung [PDF]
, 2018 The bacterial second messenger bis-(3′-5′)-cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) has been shown to influence the expression of virulence factors in certain pathogenic bacteria, but little is known about its activity in the increasingly antibiotic-resistant ...

fimA and tctC based DNA diagnostics for Salmonella
Molecular and Cellular Probes, 1994 Immunochemical analyses of 85 isolates of 17 Salmonella serovars using polyclonal antiserum to SEF21, the type 1 fimbriae of Salmonella enteritidis, demonstrated antigenic relatedness among both type 1 and type 2 fimbriae of Salmonella. However, anti-SEF21 antiserum was not entirely suitable as a Salmonella diagnostic probe due either to a variability ...

FimA, a major virulence factor associated with Streptococcus parasanguis endocarditis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1995 Adherence of microorganisms to damaged heart tissue is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. In the present study, we investigated the role of the FimA protein as a potential virulence factor associated with Streptococcus parasanguis endocarditis.

Novel fimbrilin PGN_1808 in Porphyromonas gingivalis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Porphyromonas gingivalis, a periodontopathic gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, generally expresses two types of fimbriae, FimA and Mfa1. However, a novel potential fimbrilin, PGN_1808, in P.

Necrotrophic growth of periodontopathogens is a novel virulence factor in oral biofilms [PDF]
, 2017 The oral use of antimicrobial agents embedded in toothpastes and mouth rinses results in an oral microbial massacre with high amounts of dead bacteria in close proximity to few surviving bacteria.
