Adhesion of Escherichia Coli to Nanostructured Surfaces and the Role of Type 1 Fimbriae
Nanomaterials, 2020 Bacterial fimbriae are an important virulence factor mediating adhesion to both biotic and abiotic surfaces and facilitating biofilm formation. The expression of type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli is a key virulence factor for urinary tract infections ...

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 ...

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is effective against a variety of microorganisms. Here, we described effects on an Escherichia coli strain isolated from hospital wastewater caused by treatment with physical plasma. E. coli GW‐AmxH19 was incubated in artificial wastewater and treated for 15 min with CAP.

Effect of d-Mannose on Fimbriae of Bacterial Isolates From Chicken Carcasses
Poultry Science, 1990 Pseudomonad-like microbial isolates were obtained from commercially processed broiler chicken carcasses for use in experiments to determine if d-mannose would interfere with their ability to form pellicles and rims and prevent agglutination of blood and yeast cells.

Efficacy of FimA antibody and clindamycin in silkworm larvae stimulated with Porphyromonas gulae
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2021 Objective: Porphyromonas gulae, a major periodontal pathogen in animals, possesses fimbriae that have been classified into three genotypes (A, B, C) based on the diversity of fimA genes encoding fimbrillin protein (FimA). P.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

The role of urease in the acid stress response and fimbriae expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43
Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022 Background/purpose: Two urease operons were identified in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43, ure-1 and ure-2. This study investigates whether a differential regulation of the expression of ure-1 and ure-2 exists and how urease activity influences the acid ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Malayan pangolin populations have fallen to a critically endangered level, and illegal trafficking of wild pangolins is a global problem. Little is known about antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (MDRB) harbored by pangolins, although pangolins are frequently consumed as food or used in traditional medicine. In this study, we report for the first

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Magnesium restores macrophage clearance of P. gingivalis by inhibiting MCU‐mediated calcium overload. P. gingivalis is mainly phagocytosed by macrophages but escapes intracellular clearance via MCU‐mediated mitochondrial and cytosolic Ca2+ overload in periodontitis. The persistent P.
