A High-resolution Typing Assay for Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Based on Fimbrial Diversity
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in humans, causing cystitis, pyelonephritis, and renal failure. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading cause of UTIs.

H-NS is the major repressor of Salmonella Typhimurium Pef fimbriae expression
Virulence, 2019 Fimbriae play an important role in adhesion and are therefore essential for the interaction of bacteria with the environments they encounter. Most of them are expressed in vivo but not in vitro, thus making difficult the full characterization of these ...

Two intracellular and cell type-specific bacterial symbionts in the placozoan Trichoplax H2
, 2019 Placozoa is an enigmatic phylum of simple, microscopic, marine metazoans(1,2). Although intracellular bacteria have been found in all members of this phylum, almost nothing is known about their identity, location and interactions with their host(3-6). We
