Involvement of Type IV Pili in Pathogenicity of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria

open access: yesGenes, 2011
Type IV pili (T4P) are hair-like appendages found on the surface of a wide range of bacteria belonging to the β-, γ-, and δ-Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Firmicutes. They constitute an efficient device for a particular type of bacterial surface motility, named twitching, and are involved in several other bacterial activities and functions ...

From Dysbiosis to Disease: How Vaginal Microbiota Shape Group B Streptococcus Pathogenesis

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Lactobacillus crispatus plays a critical role in the vaginal microbiome. Limiting glucose shifts metabolism toward HMO consumption and amino acid metabolism. These actions enable alkali production and competition. Homeostasis, characterized by dense Lactobacilli colonization and suppression of pathogens, provides resistance to dysbiosis.

\u3cem\u3eClostridium perfringens\u3c/em\u3e Adhesion Through Type IV Pili [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Bacteria infect host cells through several mechanisms, one of which is a surface protein called a type IV pilus. Type IV pili are thin, hair-like protein fibers on the bacterial surface capable of being extended and retracted from a bacterial cell; they ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 20, Page 2981-3008, October 2026.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

The structure of PilA from Acinetobacter baumannii AB5075 suggests a mechanism for functional specialization in Acinetobacter type IV pili

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Type IV pili (T4P) are bacterial appendages composed of protein subunits, called pilins, noncovalently assembled into helical fibers. T4P are essential, in many bacterial species, for processes as diverse as twitching motility, natural competence ...

Hydrogels Augmented With Artificial Sweeteners can Inhibit Multidrug‐Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Growth and Biofilm Formation While Demonstrating Safety in Pre‐Clinical Pilot Human Trials

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 39, 23 October 2026.
Using PVA–borax hydrogels as carriers for off‐the‐shelf artificial sweeteners to fight multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii. These soft, biocompatible hydrogels rapidly reduce bacterial viability within multidrug‐resistant A. baumannii biofilms by more than 99% within one hour and sustain antimicrobial activity over time, while demonstrating safety in both

Seminal Plasma Initiates a Neisseria gonorrhoeae Transmission State

open access: yesmBio, 2014
Niche-restricted pathogens are evolutionarily linked with the specific biological fluids that are encountered during infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes the genital infection gonorrhea and is exposed to seminal fluid during sexual transmission ...

Contact‐Architecture‐Dependent Mixed Ionic‐Electronic Transport in Solution‐Grown MAPbBr3 Microwire Photodetectors

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 40, 27 October 2026.
MAPbBr3 microwire photodetectors reveal a strong architecture dependence of mixed ionic–electronic phototransport. A single‐gap device exhibits pronounced illumination‐history‐dependent transients governed by trap‐assisted injection and ionic polarization, whereas a multi‐gap configuration averages local interfacial effects and yields stable ...
