The Mechanical Properties of E. coli Type 1 Pili Measured by Atomic Force Microscopy Techniques [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 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 (approximately 1 microm) rods composed of more than 1000 protein subunits arranged in a helical structure.

Cystitis in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus): Clinical findings and treatment outcomes

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This retrospective study examined the incidence, diagnostic methods, bacterial isolates, treatments and outcomes associated with cystitis in guinea pigs presented at a single clinic between 2009 and 2022. Methods The clinic's medical records database was reviewed using easyvet software to identify cases eligible for inclusion in the

Sinorhizobium meliloti GR4 Produces Chromosomal- and pSymA-Encoded Type IVc Pili That Influence the Interaction with Alfalfa Plants

Plants
Type IVc Pili (T4cP), also known as Tad or Flp pili, are long thin microbial filaments that are made up of small-sized pilins. These appendages serve different functions in bacteria, including attachment, biofilm formation, surface sensing, motility, and

A distinct sortase SrtB anchors and processes a streptococcal adhesin AbpA with a novel structural property. [PDF]

, 2016
Surface display of proteins by sortases in Gram-positive bacteria is crucial for bacterial fitness and virulence. We found a unique gene locus encoding an amylase-binding adhesin AbpA and a sortase B in oral streptococci.

Postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) and human decomposition in anthropogenically constructed aqueous environments (pools, bathtubs, hot tubs, and spas)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.

Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli adhesion is enhanced by exposure to the ubiquitous dietary polysaccharide maltodextrin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with intestinal dysbiosis evidenced by an altered microbiome forming thick biofilms on the epithelium. Additionally, adherent-invasive E.

Controlled trial of lovastatin combined with an open-label treatment of a parent-implemented language intervention in youth with fragile X syndrome. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to conduct a 20-week controlled trial of lovastatin (10 to 40 mg/day) in youth with fragile X syndrome (FXS) ages 10 to 17 years, combined with an open-label treatment of a parent-implemented language intervention (

Beyond the next step: A multi‐criteria generative validation framework for step selection functions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Step‐selection functions (SSFs), typically fitted using step‐selection analysis (SSA) or integrated step‐selection analysis (iSSA) are widely used to infer habitat selection and movement kernels from high‐frequency telemetry data, but most standard validation tools focus on one‐step‐ahead prediction and do not guarantee that fitted models ...
