Structure-based discovery of glycomimetic FmlH ligands as inhibitors of bacterial adhesion during urinary tract infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Significance The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), makes the development of targeted antivirulence therapeutics a critical focus of research.

Point mutations in FimH adhesin of Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli enhance intestinal inflammatory response.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) are abnormally predominant on Crohn's disease (CD) ileal mucosa. AIEC reference strain LF82 adheres to ileal enterocytes via the common type 1 pili adhesin FimH and recognizes CEACAM6 receptors abnormally ...

The adherent/invasive escherichia coli (AIEC) strain LF82 invades and persists in human prostate cell lineRWPE-1 activating a strong inflammatory response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Adherent/invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have recently been receiving increased attention because they are more prevalent and persistent in the intestine of Crohn's disease (CD) patients than in healthy subjects.

Comparative Study of Aryl O-, C-, and S-Mannopyranosides as Potential Adhesion Inhibitors toward Uropathogenic E. coli FimH

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
A set of three mannopyranoside possessing identical 1,1′-biphenyl glycosidic pharmacophore but different aglyconic atoms were synthesized using either a palladium-catalyzed Heck cross coupling reaction or a metathesis reaction between their ...

Mechano-transduction: from molecules to tissues. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
External forces play complex roles in cell organization, fate, and homeostasis. Changes in these forces, or how cells respond to them, can result in abnormal embryonic development and diseases in adults.

FimH confers mannose-targeting ability to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin for improved immunotherapy in bladder cancer

open access: yesJournal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2022
Background Bladder cancer is a common disease worldwide with most patients presenting with the non-muscle-invasive form (NMIBC) at initial diagnosis. Postoperational intravesical instillation of BCG is carried out for patients with high-risk disease to ...

Innovative solutions to sticky situations: Antiadhesive strategies for treating bacterial infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bacterial adherence to host tissue is an essential process in pathogenesis, necessary for invasion and colonization and often required for the efficient delivery of toxins and other bacterial effectors.

Structure of the decoy module of human glycoprotein 2 and uromodulin and its interaction with bacterial adhesin FimH

open access: yesNature Structural & Molecular Biology, 2022
Glycoprotein 2 (GP2) and uromodulin (UMOD) filaments protect against gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections by acting as decoys for bacterial fimbrial lectin FimH. By combining AlphaFold2 predictions with X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM, we show

Molecular Characterization of theEscherichia coliFimH Adhesin [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
Bacterial adherence mediated by fimbriae is an essential prerequisite for colonization of the urinary tract. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli express a number of different adhesive organelles, including P, type 1, S, and F1C fimbriae [1]. Type 1, or mannose-sensitive, fimbriae are produced by >80% of all uropathogenic E. coli.

Phylogeny, Resistome, and Virulome of Escherichia coli Causing Biliary Tract Infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Escherichia coli is the most frequent Gram-negative bacilli involved in intra-abdominal infections. However, despite high mortality rates associated with biliary tract infections due to E. coli, there is no study focusing on this pathogen. In this study,
