Analysis of Spleen-Induced Fimbria Production in Recombinant Attenuated Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Vaccine Strains

mBio, 2017
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium genome encodes 13 fimbrial operons. Most of the fimbriae encoded by these operons are not produced under laboratory conditions but are likely to be synthesized in vivo.

Evolutionary Analysis Points to Divergent Physiological Roles of Type 1 Fimbriae in Salmonella and Escherichia coli

mBio, 2013
Salmonella and Escherichia coli mannose-binding type 1 fimbriae exhibit highly similar receptor specificities, morphologies, and mechanisms of assembly but are nonorthologous in nature, i.e., not closely related evolutionarily.

Bacterial cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase activity coordinates biofilm formation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Biofilm-related infections are a major contributor to human disease, and the capacity for surface attachment and biofilm formation are key attributes for the pathogenesis of microbes. Serratia marcescens type I fimbriae-dependent biofilms are coordinated

Discovery of Bacterial Fimbria–Glycan Interactions Using Whole-Cell Recombinant Escherichia coli Expression

mBio, 2021
Understanding the tropism of pathogens for host and tissue requires a complete understanding of the host receptors targeted by fimbrial adhesins. Furthermore, blocking adhesion is a promising strategy to counter increasing antibiotic resistance and is enabled by the identification of host receptors.

Phenotypic Characterization of Porphyromonas gulae Fimbria Mutants

Cellular Microbiology
Porphyromonas gulae has been established as a pathogen in animal periodontal disease and expresses several virulence factors, including fimbriae, lipopolysaccharide, and proteases. P. gulae fimbriae are classified into three genotypes (A, B, and C) based

Std fimbriae-fucose interaction increases Salmonella-induced intestinal inflammation and prolongs colonization.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
Expression of ABO and Lewis histo-blood group antigens by the gastrointestinal epithelium is governed by an α-1,2-fucosyltransferase enzyme encoded by the Fut2 gene.

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Subversion of a family of antimicrobial proteins by Salmonella enterica

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Salmonella enterica is a food-borne pathogen able to cause a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis to systemic infections. During almost all stages of the infection process Salmonella is likely to be exposed to a wide variety of ...

Analisis Antibodi IgG Spesifik Fimbria Porphyromonas gingivalis dengan Metoda Elisa pada Penderita Early-Onset Periodontitis

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia, 2015
The adherence of bacteria to the host tissues is a first step in the development of infections. Bacterial fimbriae have been shown to play an important role in the interaction between bacteria and host cells or among bacterial cells.

Pasteurella lipoprotein E interacts with host ABCF2 to facilitate adhesion and cell apoptosis

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Pasteurella multocida can cause serious diseases in many animal species and humans, yet the mechanisms of its pathogenesis remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that the lipoprotein E (PlpE) of P. multocida contributed to bacterial adhesion to host cells.
