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 ...

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 ...

[Rapid purification of Bordetella pertussis fimbria 2, 3 proteins and their immunogenicities].

Mikrobiyoloji bulteni, 2007
Bordetella pertussis fimbria antigens play an important role in the adhesion to the cell surfaces, and induce the formation of protective antibodies in the host. The aim of this study was to purify the fimbria proteins by a rapid and easy method which involved Superdex 75 gel filtration chromatography, and to investigate their immunogenicity.

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae

, 2013
Marginal periodontitis is not a homogeneous disease but is rather influenced by an intricate set of host susceptibility differences as well as diversities in virulence among the harbored organisms. It is likely that clonal heterogeneity of subpopulations

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]

, 2009
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.
