Peri‐implantitis and systemic inflammation: Current evidence, biological plausibility, and research gaps

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is a biofilm‐associated inflammatory condition characterized by peri‐implant mucosal inflammation and progressive bone loss. The prevalence of peri‐implantitis continues to rise among patients with dental implants. Although peri‐implantitis and periodontitis share similar inflammatory phenotypes, histopathological ...

Escherichia coli, fimbriae, bacterial persistence and host response induction in the human urinary tract

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2005
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Symptomatic UTIs may be acute, recurrent or chronic but the most frequent form of UTI is asymptomatic bacteruria (ABU). In ABU, the mucosa remains inert, despite the presence of large bacterial numbers in urine.

Adhesive threads of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli

Gut Pathogens, 2009
The ability to adhere to host surfaces is by far the most vital step in the successful colonization by microbial pathogens. Colonization begins with the attachment of the bacterium to receptors expressed by cells forming the lining of the mucosa.

Beyond Bactericidal: Plasma Surface Engineering to Defeat Food Matrix‐Conditioning Layers

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The persistence of foodborne pathogens on industrial food contact surfaces continues to challenge global food safety despite advances in sanitation technologies. A central limitation of current antimicrobial strategies lies in their validation under simplified laboratory conditions that overlook the physicochemically driven formation of food ...

Type 1 fimbriae-mediated collective protection against type 6 secretion system attacks

mBio
Bacterial competition may rely on secretion systems such as the type 6 secretion system (T6SS), which punctures and releases toxic molecules into neighboring cells.

Phosphorylated OmpR Is Required for Type 3 Fimbriae Expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae Under Hypertonic Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
OmpR/EnvZ is a two-component system that senses osmotic signals and controls downstream gene expression in many species of Enterobacteriaceae. However, the role of OmpR/EnvZ in Klebsiella pneumoniae remains unknown.

Modeling Multiscale Architecture of Biofilm Extracellular Matrix and Its Role in Oxygen Transport

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2758-2770, October 2026.
Conceptual ‘resistance‐in‐series' model using cell‐capsule approach is introduced to investigate oxygen transport in the extracellular matrix. Bacterial capsule as a separate, distinct feature from the bulk EPS is the main focus of our present study. ABSTRACT The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) matrix of microbial biofilms exhibits a complex ...

A previously uncharacterized gene stm0551 plays a repressive role in the regulation of type 1 fimbriae in Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium produces surface-associated fimbriae that facilitate adherence of the bacteria to a variety of cells and tissues. Type 1 fimbriae with binding specificity to mannose residues are the most commonly found

Insights Into the Antibiofilm Activity of Carbon Quantum Dots Against a Panel of Different Microorganisms: A Review

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Carbon quantum dots (CDs) have emerged as versatile nanoplatforms for combating biofilm‐associated infections through multiple mechanisms, including EPS disruption, membrane damage, ROS generation, and quorum sensing inhibition. This review highlights how CD physicochemical properties and surface engineering strategies influence antibiofilm activity ...
