CAT‐BLAST: Engineered bacteria for robust targeting and elimination of cancer‐associated fibroblasts

iMeta, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) construct a protective stromal barrier that promotes tumor growth and resistance to therapy. To dismantle this, we developed CAT‐BLAST, an engineered bacterial platform designed to potently eliminate these cells. We engineered a safe, high‐expression E.

Functional Analysis of the Chaperone-Usher Fimbrial Gene Clusters of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
The human-specific pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi causes typhoid, a major public health issue in developing countries. Several aspects of its pathogenesis are still poorly understood. S.

ETEC colonisation factors disrupt the antigen presenting capacity of porcine intestinal dendritic cells [PDF]

, 2012
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are not only a major cause of diarrhoea in travellers to and children in developing countries, but also cause neonatal and postweaning diarrhoea in piglets, leading to a reduced feed conversion and a higher mortality rate ...

Inhibition of enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (ETEC) adhesion to caco-2 cells by human milk and its immunoglobulin and non-immunoglobulin fractions. [PDF]

, 2007
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the most common cause of diarrhea in children in developing countries and among travelers to ETEC endemic areas. ETEC diarrhea is caused by colonization of the small intestine mediated by colonization factor (CF)

Expression of the short fimbriae ofPorphyromonas gingivalisis regulated in oral bacterial consortia [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006
The Mfa1 protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis is the structural subunit of the short fimbriae and mediates coadhesion between P. gingivalis and Streptococcus gordonii. We utilized a promoter-lacZ reporter construct to examine the regulation of mfa1 expression in consortia with common oral plaque bacteria.

Plant‐produced encapsulin displays non‐typhoidal Salmonella enterica antigens and assembles into mosaic nanoparticles

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of encapsulin as an antigen display platform for the development of a candidate Salmonella vaccine for poultry. Encapsulin constructs were transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana where they accumulated to high levels.

Chimeric FimH adhesin of type 1 fimbriae: a bacterial surface display system for heterologous sequences [PDF]

Microbiology, 1995
The FimH adhesin of type 1 fimbriae has been tested as a display system for heterologous protein segments on the surface of Escherichia coli. This was carried out by introduction of restriction site handles (BglII sites) in two different positions in the fimH gene, followed by in-frame insertion of heterologous DNA segments encoding two reporter ...

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.

The structure of the PapD-PapGII pilin complex reveals an open and flexible P5 pocket [PDF]

, 2012
P pili are hairlike polymeric structures that mediate binding of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the surface of the kidney via the PapG adhesin at their tips.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...
