Interaction of Bordetella bronchiseptica and different Bordetella factors with sheep bone marrow mast cells and other cell types [PDF]
A number of studies have reported that mast cells (MCs) play a critical role in host immune defence against bacterial infections. These studies have shown that mast cells have the ability to recognize and engulf bacteria.

FHA-mediated cell-substrate and cell-cell adhesions are critical for Bordetella pertussis biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces and in the mouse nose and the trachea [PDF]
Bordetella spp. form biofilms in the mouse nasopharynx, thereby providing a potential mechanism for establishing chronic infections in humans and animals. Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) is a major virulence factor of B. pertussis, the causative agent of

The protective and immunomodulatory properties of Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase toxin [PDF]
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of the disease whooping cough in man, and although there is an effective whole-cell vaccine (WCV), recent efforts have focused on the development of the acellular vaccines (ACVs) to avoid the problems of ...

Functional analysis of the serine-threonine protein kinase PknF and its substrate, the ABC transporter Rv1747, in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis exists in a number of different environmental states. It must therefore have gene regulatory systems which are specific for virulence.

Sorting Signals of Borrelia Lipoproteins [PDF]
Bacterial lipoproteins play important roles in prokaryotic physiology, protein transport, membrane biogenesis, and pathogenesis. Produced in the cytoplasm, these proteins are N-terminally modified by the covalent addition of a fatty-acid moiety onto a ...

Signalizační působení adenylát-cyklázového toxinu na fagocyty [PDF]
Adenylát-cyklázový toxin (CyaA) je klíčovým faktorem virulence bakterie Bordetella pertussis. CyaA se váže na fagocyty produkující komplementový receptor 3 (CR3) a následně katalyzuje přeměnu vnitrobuněčného ATP na významného "druhého posla" cAMP.
