Role of meprins to protect ileal mucosa of Crohn's disease patients from colonization by adherent-invasive E. coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Ileal lesions in Crohn's disease (CD) patients are colonized by pathogenic adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) able to adhere to and invade intestinal epithelial cells (IEC), and to survive within macrophages.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An optimized single‐cell transcriptomic framework profiles over 60 000 cells to map the ovine rumen microbiome, partitioning the ecosystem into seven cross‐species functional clusters. In heat‐resistant hosts, a lineage‐specific metabolic shift in Anaerovibrio lipolyticus toward a highly glycolytic phenotype contributes to a “nutritional sparing ...

The Mechanical Properties of E. coli Type 1 Pili Measured by Atomic Force Microscopy Techniques
, 2006 The first step in the encounter between a host and a pathogen is attachment to the host epithelium. For uropathogenic Escherichia coli, these interactions are mediated by type 1 and P adhesive pili, which are long (∼1μm) rods composed of more than 1000 ...

Molecular mechanism of bacterial type 1 and P pili assembly
, 2015 The formation of adhesive surface structures called pili or fimbriae (‘bacterial hair’) is an important contributor towards bacterial pathogenicity and persistence. To fight often chronic or recurrent bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections,
