Legionella pneumophila strain 130b evades macrophage cell death independent of the effector SidF in the absence of flagellin [PDF]
International audienceThe human pathogen Legionella pneumophila must evade host cell death signaling to enable replication in lung macrophages and to cause disease. After bacterial growth, however, L.

Genome-wide analyses of Liberibacter species provides insights into evolution, phylogenetic relationships, and virulence factors. [PDF]
'Candidatus Liberibacter' species are insect-transmitted, phloem-limited α-Proteobacteria in the order of Rhizobiales. The citrus industry is facing significant challenges due to huanglongbing, associated with infection from 'Candidatus Liberibacter ...

A modular strategy was developed to synthesize tri‐, hexa‐, and nona‐saccharides representing repeating units of the conserved O‐polysaccharide backbone of Salmonella. Conjugates of these glycans to bacteriophage Qβ induced strong IgG responses in mice and rabbits. Antibodies elicited recognized native O‐polysaccharides and conferred protection against

A crucial role of Flagellin in the induction of airway mucus production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen involved in nosocomial infections. Flagellin is a P. aeruginosa virulence factor involved in host response to this pathogen. We examined the role of flagellin in P.

Flagellin Encoded in Gene-Based Vector Vaccines Is a Route-Dependent Immune Adjuvant. [PDF]
Flagellin has been tested as a protein-based vaccine adjuvant, with the majority of studies focused on antibody responses. Here, we evaluated the adjuvant activity of flagellin for both cellular and humoral immune responses in BALB/c mice in the setting ...

Mass Spectrometry in the Elucidation of the Glycoproteome of Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]
Presently some three hundred post-translational modifications are known to occur in bacteria in vivo. Many of these modifications play critical roles in the regulation of proteins and control key biological processes.

Sea anemone model has a single Toll-like receptor that can function in pathogen detection, NF-κB signal transduction, and development [PDF]
In organisms from insects to vertebrates, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are primary pathogen detectors that activate downstream pathways, specifically those that direct expression of innate immune effector genes.

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.
