S-layers at second glance? Altiarchaeal grappling hooks (hami) resemble archaeal S-layer proteins in structure and sequence

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The uncultivated Ca. Altiarchaeum hamiconexum (formerly known as SM1 Euryarchaeon) carries highly specialized nano-grappling hooks (hami) on its cell surface. Until now little is known about the major protein forming these structured fibrous cell surface

Vaccination approaches for the prevention of urinary tract infection [PDF]

, 2013
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infectious diseases of humans, with approximately 150 million cases estimated to occur globally every year. UTIs usually start as a bladder infection (cystitis), but can develop into acute kidney

Capsular polysaccharide inhibits adhesion of Bifidobacterium longum 105-A to enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells and phagocytosis by macrophages

Gut Pathogens, 2017
Background Bifidobacterium longum 105-A produces markedly high amounts of capsular polysaccharides (CPS) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) that should play distinct roles in bacterial–host interactions. To identify the biological function of B.

Fimbriae-mediated outer membrane vesicle production and invasion of Porphyromonas gingivalis

MicrobiologyOpen, 2014
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a keystone periopathogen that plays an essential role in the progress of periodontitis. Like other gram‐negative bacteria, the ability of P.

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]

, 2016
Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

Porcine milk fat globule membrane proteins that bind to F4ac fimbria of Escherichia coli

The FASEB Journal, 2012
Post‐weaning colibacillosis in pigs is caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) which is often controlled by antibiotic feed supplements with potential risk of generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Morphological and immunocytochemical analysis of Escherichia coli -specific surface antigens in wildtype strains and in recombinant Vibrio cholerae [PDF]

, 2018
Adhesion is the first step in the pathogenesis of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infections. The genes encoding the most prevalent adhesion factors CFA/I, CS3 and CS6 were cloned into Vibrio cholerae strain CVD 103-HgR and expression of fimbriae was ...

Unveiling a Novel Mechanism of Enhanced Secretion, Cargo Loading, and Accelerated Dynamics of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Following Antibiotic Exposure

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles
Antibiotic exposure substantially alters the production mechanisms of bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs), which serve as carriers for intercellular exchange of DNA, proteins, and nutrients, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.
