Single Molecular Force Sensing Reveals Fibronectin-Specific Binding Epitopes of Bacterial Curli Fimbriae [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2016
Curli are functional microbial amyloids that are major components of the complex extracellular matrix produced by Enterobacteriaceae. They play important functions in biofilm formation, bacterial invasion into host cells, and pathological processes which lead to numerous infections and autoimmune diseases.

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.

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.

Duality of β-glucan microparticles: antigen carrier and immunostimulants [PDF]

, 2016
Designing efficient recombinant mucosal vaccines against enteric diseases is still a major challenge. Mucosal delivery of recombinant vaccines requires encapsulation in potent immunostimulatory particles to induce an efficient immune response. This paper

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 ...

Bacterial Fimbriae and Their Peptides Activate Human Gingival Epithelial Cells through Toll-Like Receptor 2 [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2001
ABSTRACTGingival epithelial cells are a central component of the barrier between oral microflora and internal tissues. Host responses to periodontopathic bacteria and surface components containing fimbriae are thought to be important in the development and progression of periodontal diseases.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.
