Overexpression of an outer membrane protein associated with decreased susceptibility to carbapenems in Proteus mirabilis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Proteus mirabilis isolates commonly have decreased susceptibility to imipenem. Previously, we found P. mirabilis hfq mutant was more resistant to imipenem and an outer membrane protein (OMP) could be involved.

Involvement of the post-transcriptional regulator Hfq in Yersinia pestis virulence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Yersinia pestis is the causative agent of plague, which is transmitted primarily between fleas and mammals and is spread to humans through the bite of an infected flea or contact with afflicted animals.

Hfq Globally Binds and Destabilizes sRNAs and mRNAs in
mSystems, 2019 Hfq is a ubiquitous Sm-like RNA-binding protein in bacteria involved in physiological fitness and pathogenesis, while its in vivo binding nature remains elusive. Here we reported genome-wide Hfq-bound RNAs in Yersinia pestis, a causative agent of plague,

Impact of Hfq on global gene expression and intracellular survival in Brucella melitensis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Brucella melitensis is a facultative intracellular bacterium that replicates within macrophages. The ability of brucellae to survive and multiply in the hostile environment of host macrophages is essential to its virulence. The RNA-binding protein Hfq is

Post-transcriptional regulator Hfq binds catalase HPII: crystal structure of the complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We report a crystal structure of Hfq and catalase HPII from Escherichia coli. The post-transcriptional regulator Hfq plays a key role in the survival of bacteria under stress.

Staphylococcus aureus pigmentation is not controlled by Hfq
BMC Research Notes, 2020 Objective The golden color of Staphylococcus aureus is due to the synthesis of carotenoid pigments. In Gram-negative bacteria, Hfq is a global posttranscriptional regulator, but its function in S. aureus remains obscure. The absence of Hfq in S.
