Scientific Reports, 2017 The human pathogen Group A Streptococcus (GAS) produces pili that are involved in adhesion and colonisation of the host. These surface-exposed pili are immunogenic and therefore represent an attractive target for vaccine development. The pilus is encoded

Characterisation of human hair follicle development
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Schematic of hair follicle development in human skin. Hair follicle primordia of similar sizes, but different densities, are laid out across the skin. The distinction between terminal and vellus hair sites is not obvious at early stages of hair follicle development.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Conductivity of individual Geobacter pili
, 2016 The electrically conductive pili of Geobacter species have been proposed to play an important role in long-range electron transfer to Fe(III) oxides and other cells and have potential as a sustainable source of electrically conductive materials ...

The Oral‐Gut Axis: Bidirectional Interactions Between Microbiome and Diseases
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This study aims to summarize the mechanisms underlying ectopic colonization of the gut by oral pathobionts and the microbial and host factors that regulate this process. ABSTRACT Increased colonization of typically oral microorganisms is frequently observed in the gut mucosa or lumen of individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, including patients ...

To Move or Not to Move: When and How Bacteria Suppress Flagellar Motility
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Motility cessation in bacteria is a key regulatory strategy that provides multiple survival advantages including enhanced community cooperation, niche adaptation and evasion of host immune responses. This process is controlled by associated mechanisms such as post‐translational modifications and second messenger signalling that stabilise non‐motile ...
