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 been numerous suggestions as to the role of the enzyme in the disease process.

Bacteriocins of gram-positive bacteria [PDF]

Microbiological Reviews, 1995
In recent years, a group of antibacterial proteins produced by gram-positive bacteria have attracted great interest in their potential use as food preservatives and as antibacterial agents to combat certain infections due to gram-positive pathogenic bacteria.

Conjugation in Gram-Positive Bacteria

Microbiology Spectrum, 2014
ABSTRACT Conjugative transfer is the most important means of spreading antibiotic resistance and virulence factors among bacteria. The key vehicles of this horizontal gene transfer are a group of mobile genetic elements, termed conjugative plasmids. Conjugative plasmids contain as minimum instrumentation an origin of transfer (

Pili in Gram-positive pathogens [PDF]

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2006
Most bacterial pathogens have long filamentous structures known as pili or fimbriae extending from their surface. These structures are often involved in the initial adhesion of the bacteria to host tissues during colonization. In gram-negative bacteria, pili are typically formed by non-covalent interactions between pilin subunits.

The Endo-β-1,4-glucanase CelA of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis Is a Pathogenicity Determinant Required for Induction of Bacterial Wilt of Tomato

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
The phytopathogenic bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis NCPPB382, which causes bacterial wilt and canker of tomato, harbors two plasmids, pCM1 (27.35 kb) and pCM2 (72 kb), encoding genes involved in virulence (D.

Gram-Positive Anaerobic Cocci [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1998
SUMMARY Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (GPAC) are a heterogeneous group of organisms defined by their morphological appearance and their inability to grow in the presence of oxygen; most clinical isolates are identified to species in the genus Peptostreptococcus.
