Kinetic analysis of the synthesis and assembly of type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli [PDF]
The adhesive organelles (type 1 fimbriae) of K-12 and other isolates of Escherichia coli are composed of identical 17,000-dalton subunits. We examined the assembly of these subunits into fimbrial organelles. After synthesis, the nascent subunits were first processed and then assembled into the organelles; the assembly step took almost 3 min in log ...

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Comparison of Escherichia coli fimbrial antigen F7 with type 1 fimbriae [PDF]
Two Escherichia coli O6:K2:H1 strains, C1212 and C1214, isolated from urinary tract infections, were compared for their capacity to adhere to various cells. After growth on solid medium, only C1212 bacteria agglutinate human erythrocytes and attach to urinary epithelial cells. Both of these reactions are mannose resistant.

Salmonella adhesion is decreased by hypoxia due to adhesion and motility structure crosstalk
Initial stages of Salmonella Typhimurium infection involve a series of coordinated events aimed at reaching, attaching to, and invading host cells. Virulence factors such as flagella, fimbriae, and secretion systems play crucial roles in these events and

A new combination in Strophopappus (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, Lepidaploinae)
Revisions of herbarium collections reveal a new combination in Strophopappus (Asteraceae, Vernonieae, Lepidaploinae). Strophopappus comprises nine species occurring in South America, eight of which are endemic to Brazil. Currently, Vernonia riedeliana is treated as a synonym of Strophopappus bicolor.

Immunoelectron microscopic analysis of elongation of type 1 fimbriae in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Using 10- and 20-nm-diameter gold particles conjugated to an antifimbrial monoclonal antibody, we analyzed the location of assembly of newly formed subunits on growing type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli. Fimbriae were removed from an E. coli K-12-derived strain, CSH50, by blending.

Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
