Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
, 2018 Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

Virulence gene expression by staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm cells exposed to antibiotics [PDF]
, 2011 Staphylococcus epidermidis have become important causes of nosocomial infections, as its pathogenesis is correlated with the ability to form biofilms on polymeric surfaces. Production of poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) is crucial for S.

Quaternized Chitosan Inhibits icaA Transcription and Biofilm Formation by Staphylococcus on a Titanium Surface [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2011 ABSTRACT Our previous study (Z. X. Peng et al., Carbohydr. Polym. 81: 275-283, 2010) demonstrated that water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts, which are produced by the reaction of chitosan with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride, provide chitosan derivatives with enhanced antibacterial ability.

Molecular Detection of Virulence Factors (Adhesion Genes) in Some Staphylococcus Epidermidis Locally Isolated From Different Clinical Sources [PDF]
, 1987 The icaA and icaD genes are found in bacterial cells. The icaA and icaD genes allow a bacterium to produce biofilm. Biofilms are an important virulence determinant in bacteria because biofilm formation significantly increases resistance to antibiotics ...

Detection of icaA Gene Expression in Clinical Biofilm-Producing Staphylococcus Aureus Isolates
Iraqi Journal of Science, 2020 The pathogenicity resulting from Staphylococcus aureus infection has remarkable importance as one of the community-associated bacterial infections, due to the virulent ability of these bacteria to produce biofilms. This study was designed to detect biofilm production in clinical isolates from samples of wounds and urinary tract infections.
