Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

Molecular Detection of Type 1 Fimbriae-Encoding Gene (fimH) in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Outpatients with Urinary Tract Infection [PDF]
Background & Objective: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in all age groups. The majority of these infections are caused by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains. Colonization, attachment to uroepithelium, and the

Type 1 fimbriae in commensal Escherichia coli derived from healthy humans.
Type 1 fimbriae are one of the most important factors of Escherichia coli adaptation to different niches in the host. Our study indicated that the genetic marker--fimH gene occurred commonly in commensal E. coli derived from healthy humans but expression of the type 1 fimbriae was not observed. Identification of fim structural subunit genes (fimA-fimH)

Enterobacter Species: Opportunistic Human and Plant Pathogens With Plant‐Beneficial Traits
The pathogen profile on Enterobacter species synthesises current knowledge on host range, disease symptoms, plant‐beneficial traits and compares genomic features within the genus. ABSTRACT Enterobacter species occur across diverse habitats and are best known for causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections in humans.

We have recently shown that S. Gallinarum type 1 fimbriae with endogenous mannose-resistant (MR) variant of the FimH protein increase systemic dissemination of S. Gallinarum and colonization of internal organs in comparison to the S.

Do type 1 fimbriae promote inflammation in the human urinary tract?
Type 1 fimbriae have been implicated as virulence factors in animal models of urinary tract infection (UTI), but the function in human disease remains unclear. This study used a human challenge model to examine if type 1 fimbriae trigger inflammation in the urinary tract.

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the antimicrobial effect of 275 nm wavelength ultraviolet C (UV‐C) light on M. bovis using an affordable, broadly available modified handheld device and to determine if photoreactivation plays a role in bacterial resistance to UV‐C. Methods UV‐C therapy (UVCT) was evaluated in vitro using triplicates of 3 M.
