Random Mutagenesis in Porphyromonas gingivalis Enables Isolation of Mutants With Enhanced Secreted Protease Activity

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Porphyromonas gingivalis is a key pathogen in periodontitis, with secreted proteases as major virulence factors. We developed a screening method to generate and identify P. gingivalis mutants with elevated protease activity. Mutations were induced using the mutagens 2,6‐diaminopurine (2,6‐DAP) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and the ...

yqhG Contributes to Oxidative Stress Resistance and Virulence of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli and Identification of Other Genes Altering Expression of Type 1 Fimbriae

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections and the vast majority of UTIs are caused by extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains referred to as uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC).

SdiA, a Quorum-Sensing Regulator, Suppresses Fimbriae Expression, Biofilm Formation, and Quorum-Sensing Signaling Molecules Production in Klebsiella pneumoniae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative pathogen that has become a worldwide concern due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant isolates responsible for various invasive infectious diseases. Biofilm formation constitutes a major virulence factor for K.

Regulation of bistability in the std fimbrial operon of Salmonella enterica by DNA adenine methylation and transcription factors HdfR, StdE and StdF [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Bistable expression of the Salmonella enterica std operon is controlled by an AND logic gate involving three transcriptional activators: the LysR-type factor HdfR and the StdE and StdF regulators encoded by the std operon itself.

How Salmonella Works Under Osmotic and Desiccation Stresses

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Salmonella remains one of the leading threats in foods with reduced water activity, where it can survive for long periods and cause outbreaks. Its persistence stems from a wide array of adaptive strategies shaped by the selective pressures imposed by low‐moisture foods.

Surface Display of Type 1 Fimbriae on Shigella flexneri Induces Antigen-Specific Immune Response via Oral Route

open access: yesVaccines
Background: Live attenuated bacteria are promising candidates for mucosal vaccine delivery due to their ability to elicit robust immune responses. FimH is the adhesion protein of type 1 fimbriae, which is used as mucosal adjuvants.

Regulation of biofilm formation in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Bacteria have the ability to grow in cell communities designated biofilms. This mode of growth is widespread and offers numerous advantages to the bacteria in terms of survival, persistence and propagation.

Bactericidal, Bacteriostatic, and Fungicidal Activities of Clausena anisata Fruit and Its Compounds, Stigmasteryl 3‐Palmitate (a Phytosterol Ester) and Phellopterin (a Furanocoumarin), Against Some Clinical Pathogens

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
C. anisata fruit extract and its compounds demonstrated potent broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity, notably against Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC 0.625 mg/mL; MLC 2.5 mg/mL) and Candida albicans (MIC 0.0781 mg/mL; MLC 0.625 mg/mL). The findings highlight promising bactericidal and fungicidal potential of stigmasteryl 3‐palmitate and phellopterin against
