Phage Adsorption to Gram-Positive Bacteria [PDF]
Viruses, 2023 The phage life cycle is a multi-stage process initiated by the recognition and attachment of the virus to its bacterial host. This adsorption step depends on the specific interaction between bacterial structures acting as receptors and viral proteins ...

Hyaluronidases of Gram-Positive Bacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2000 Bacterial hyaluronidases, enzymes capable of breaking down hyaluronate, are produced by a number of pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria that initiate infections at the skin or mucosal surfaces. Since reports of the hyaluronidases first appeared, there have

A predator-prey interaction between a marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. and Gram-positive bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Predator-prey interactions play important roles in the cycling of marine organic matter. Here we show that a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from marine sediments (Pseudoalteromonas sp.

Quorum-Sensing Inhibition by Gram-Positive Bacteria
Microorganisms, 2022 The modern paradigm assumes that interspecies communication of microorganisms occurs through precise regulatory mechanisms. In particular, antagonism between bacteria or bacteria and fungi can be achieved by direct destruction of the targeted cells ...

Surface Proteins on Gram-Positive Bacteria [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACTSurface proteins are critical for the survival of gram-positive bacteria both in the environment and to establish an infection. Depending on the organism, their surface proteins are evolutionarily tailored to interact with specific ligands on their target surface, be it inanimate or animate.

Small proteins in Gram-positive bacteria. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol Rev, 2023 Abstract Small proteins comprising less than 100 amino acids have been often ignored in bacterial genome annotations. About 10 years ago, focused efforts started to investigate whole peptidomes, which resulted in the discovery of a multitude of small proteins, but only a number of them have been characterized in detail.

Presence of squalene in gram-positive bacteria [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1978 The presence of the isoprenoid squalene, synthesized de novo, was demonstrated in 64 out of 73 strains of gram-positive bacteria by thin-layer chromatography. This observation was confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography, chemical reactivity, incorporation of radiolabeled precursor, and by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy of thin-layer chromatography-

Antibacterial Activity of Colloidal Silver against Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Bacteria
Antibiotics, 2020 Due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance, new alternative therapies are needed. Silver was used to treat bacterial infections since antiquity due to its known antimicrobial properties. Here, we aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of colloidal

Antimicrobial Peptides Targeting Gram-Positive Bacteria
Pharmaceuticals, 2016 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have remarkably different structures as well as biological activity profiles, whereupon most of these peptides are supposed to kill bacteria via membrane damage.

Uptake of indolmycin in gram-positive bacteria [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1980 The antimicrobial activity of indolmycin correlates with the generation time of the investigated strains. Thus, in Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 13150 with a 37-min generation time, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.6 microgram ml-1, and in Bacillus subtilis ATCC 27142 with a generation time of 23 min, the MIC reached 10.5 micrograms ml-1 ...
