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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...
