Permissive linker insertion sites in the outer membrane protein of 987P fimbriae of Escherichia coli
The FasD protein is essential for the biogenesis of 987P fimbriae of Escherichia coli. In this study, subcellular fractionation was used to demonstrate that FasD is an outer membrane protein. In addition, the accessibility of FasD to proteases established the presence of surface-exposed FasD domains on both sides of the outer membrane.

ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate many cellular processes and to play a role in host‐pathogen interactions. However, the role of miRNA in urinary tract infection (UTI) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare miRNAs from supernatants of human bladder epithelial cells infected with ESBL‐producing (ESBL019 ...

Regulation and binding properties of S fimbriae cloned from E. coli strains causing urinary tract infection and meningitis [PDF]
S fimbriae are able to recognize receptor molecules containing sialic acid and are produced by pathogenic E. coli strains causing urinary tract infection and menigitis.

Identification of Type 3 fimbriae in uropathogenic Escherichia coli reveals a role in biofilm formation [PDF]
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection in the United States. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the most common cause of CAUTI, can form biofilms on indwelling catheters.

Global Marine Fishery Stock Productivity Under Climate Change
In this uniquely extensive global analysis on the productivity of commercial fishery stocks, a common factor was the existence of pronounced heterogeneity, as documented for 710 stocks in the undertaken hindcast over the last decades. Importantly, both winners and losers appear under on‐going climate change, and then seemingly are equally present ...

Very little is known about how fimbriae of Bacteroidetes bacteria are assembled. To shed more light on this process, we solved the crystal structures of the shaft protein Mfa1, the regulatory protein Mfa2, and the tip protein Mfa3 from the periodontal ...

The Porphyromonas gingivalis hemagglutinins HagB and HagC are major mediators of adhesion and biofilm formation [PDF]
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a bacterium associated with chronic periodontitis that possesses a family of genes encoding hemagglutinins required for heme acquisition.

Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

Enterobacter Species: Opportunistic Human and Plant Pathogens With Plant‐Beneficial Traits
The pathogen profile on Enterobacter species synthesises current knowledge on host range, disease symptoms, plant‐beneficial traits and compares genomic features within the genus. ABSTRACT Enterobacter species occur across diverse habitats and are best known for causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections in humans.
