Characterization of Pilin A and Thioredoxin A Mutant Strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, From a Transposon Insertion Library, for Pili Production and Virulence‐Associated Properties

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Acinetobacter baumannii transposon insertion mutant strains ΔpilA and ΔtrxA display marked reductions of surface pili. The PilA (a major pilin protein) and TrxA (thioredoxin A) deficient bacteria also show attenuation in pathogenesis including the reduction of intestinal bacterial attachment, increased phagocytic uptake and decreased mortality from ...

Colonization capacity and serum bactericidal activity of Haemophilus parasuis thy mutants [PDF]

, 2010
The bacterial thyA gene encodes the enzyme thymidylate synthase, which is essential for dTMP synthesis and, consequently, for DNA replication. In this work, a Haemophilus parasuis thyA mutant was constructed in order to analyze its colonization ...

Porcine Corneal Tissue and Xenozoonotic Risks: A Review of the Current Evidence

Xenotransplantation, Volume 32, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Corneal opacities affect millions worldwide, with corneal transplantation as the primary treatment. However, donor shortages remain a challenge, leaving thousands waiting for transplants. Xenotransplantation using porcine corneas has emerged as a promising alternative due to anatomical and physiological similarities with human corneas ...

Two Glycosyltransferase Genes of Haemophilus parasuis SC096 Implicated in Lipo-oligosaccharide Biosynthesis, Serum Resistance, Adherence and Invasion

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Haemophilus parasuis is a common opportunistic pathogen known for its ability to colonize healthy piglets and causes Glässer’s disease. The lipooligosaccharide (LOS) of H. parasuis is a potential virulence-associated factor.

Construction and Characterization of Novel Shuttle Expression Vectors for Actinobacillus succinogenes

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, Volume 72, Issue 5, Page 1265-1273, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Actinobacillus succinogenes is a ruminal microorganism of biotechnological importance due to its capacity to produce succinic acid at high yields. Despite the scientific interest in this organism, molecular vehicles for the transfer and expression of genetic material are limited compared to the existing demand.
