Erythrocyte and porcine intestinal glycosphingolipids recognized by F4 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Enterotoxigenic F4-fimbriated Escherichia coli is associated with diarrheal disease in neonatal and postweaning pigs. The F4 fimbriae mediate attachment of the bacteria to the pig intestinal epithelium, enabling an efficient delivery of diarrhea-inducing

Magnesium Enhances Immune Clearance of P. gingivalis in Macrophages by Suppressing MCU‐Mediated Mitochondrial Calcium Overload

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Magnesium restores macrophage clearance of P. gingivalis by inhibiting MCU‐mediated calcium overload. P. gingivalis is mainly phagocytosed by macrophages but escapes intracellular clearance via MCU‐mediated mitochondrial and cytosolic Ca2+ overload in periodontitis. The persistent P.

Prevalence of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae A genotypes II and IV in patients with chronic periodontitis and atherosclerosis [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Periodontology and Implant Dentistry, 2018
Background. Atherosclerosis is known as one of the chronic diseases with high prevalence in the human species. Many studies have elucidated the relationship between this disease and chronic periodontitis caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g).

Heat-labile enterotoxin enhances F4-producing enterotoxigenic E. coli adhesion to porcine intestinal epithelial cells by upregulating bacterial adhesins and STb enterotoxin

Veterinary Research, 2022
As one of the crucial enterotoxins secreted by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) enhances bacterial adherence both in vivo and in vitro; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Investigating the Dynamics of Sex‐Structured Stock Assessment Models Under Sexual Size Dimorphism

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integration of separate sexes in stock assessment models represents an advancement towards more realistic modeling of interactions between fisheries and target species. However, increased model complexity can also introduce additional uncertainty into the modeling process.

IscR Regulation of Type 3 Fimbriae Expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
In Klebsiella pneumoniae, we have previously shown that IscR, an Fe–S cluster-containing transcriptional factor, plays a dual role in controlling capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis and iron-acquisition systems by switching between its holo and apo ...
