Masking the Pathogen: Evolutionary Strategies of Fungi and Their Bacterial Counterparts

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2015
Pathogens reduce immune recognition of their cell surfaces using a variety of inert structural polysaccharides. For example, capsular polysaccharides play critical roles in microbial survival strategies.

Bacterial capsular polysaccharides with antibiofilm activity share common biophysical and electrokinetic properties

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Bacterial biofilms are surface-attached communities that are difficult to eradicate due to a high tolerance to antimicrobial agents. The use of non-biocidal surface-active compounds to prevent the initial adhesion and aggregation of bacterial pathogens ...
