Maturation of the Mfa1 Fimbriae in the Oral Pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
The Mfa1 fimbriae of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are involved in adhesion, including binding to synergistic species in oral biofilms.

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Interaction of Fimbriae of Haemophilus influenzae Type B with Heparin-Binding Extracellular Matrix Proteins [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2000
ABSTRACT The interaction of the fimbriae of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) with two heparin-binding extracellular matrix proteins, human fibronectin (Fn) and heparin-binding growth-associated molecule (HB-GAM) from mouse, were studied.

Porcine Milk Fat Globule Membrane Proteins that Bind to F4ac Fimbriae and prevent attachment of Escherichia coli to enterocytes [PDF]

, 2012
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in pigs is caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) which is often controlled by antibiotic feed supplements with the potential risk of generation of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Role of phase-variable Mfa1 fimbriae of Phocaeicola vulgatus in its adhesion and proinflammatory activity toward gut epithelial cells

Gut Microbes Reports
Bacteroidaceae is a prominent family in the human gut microbiota. The bacteria within this family are characterized by phase variable regulation of diverse surface structures, such as capsular polysaccharides and outer membrane proteins.

Orchestrated molecular changes of proliferative, migratory‐fibrillar, synaptic, and postmigratory compartments align with precocious cortex‐type specification in the early human pallium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Early human cortical development is organized by transient cellular compartments that define cortical types before mature layers form. Analysis of the human fetal pallium (7.5–15 PCW) shows distinct spatiotemporal trajectories for the archicortex, mesocortex, and neocortex, with delayed but accelerated differentiation in allocortical regions.

Leucine-Responsive Regulatory Protein Lrp and PapI Homologues Influence Phase Variation of CS31A Fimbriae [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2014
ABSTRACTCS31A, a K88-related surface antigen specified by theclpoperon, is a member of the type P family of adhesive factors and plays a key role in the establishment of disease caused by septicemic and enterotoxigenicEscherichia colistrains. Its expression is under the control of methylation-dependent transcriptional regulation, for which the leucine ...

Comparative proteomics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli during growth in human urine identify UCA-like (UCL) fimbriae as an adherence factor involved in biofilm formation and binding to uroepithelial cells [PDF]

, 2016
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. For the successful colonisation of the human urinary tract, UPEC employ a diverse collection of secreted or surface-exposed virulence factors ...
