Small, Volume 22, Issue 17, 20 March 2026.Atmospheric plasma polymerization transforms peppermint essential oil into ultrathin, substrate‐independent bioactive coatings with antioxidant, contact‐active antibacterial, and immunomodulatory functions. The coating disrupts Gram‐negative pathogens, potentiates prophylactic antibiotics, suppresses pro‐inflammatory signaling, and promotes M2 ...

Invasion of vaginal epithelial cells by uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Nature Communications, 2020 Uropathogenic E. coli can adhere to vaginal epithelial cells preceding urinary tract infection (UTI). Here, Brannon et al. show that urinary E. coli isolates can not only adhere to, but also invade vaginal cells in mouse UTI models and in clinical ...

Phylogenetic Grouping of Human Ocular Escherichia coli Based on Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis
Microorganisms, 2020 Escherichia coli is a predominant bacterium in the intestinal tracts of animals. Phylogenetically, strains have been classified into seven phylogroups, A, B1, B2, C, D, E, and F.

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to regulate many cellular processes and to play a role in host‐pathogen interactions. However, the role of miRNA in urinary tract infection (UTI) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare miRNAs from supernatants of human bladder epithelial cells infected with ESBL‐producing (ESBL019 ...

mBio, 2012 Intracellular concentration of cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP), a second messenger molecule, is regulated in bacteria by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) (synthesizing c-di-GMP) and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) (degrading c-di-GMP).

Evolutionary fine-tuning of conformational ensembles in FimH during host-pathogen interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Positive selection in the two-domain type 1 pilus adhesin FimH enhances Escherichia coli fitness in urinary tract infection (UTI). We report a comprehensive atomic-level view of FimH in two-state conformational ensembles in solution, composed of one low ...

How Does Biological Sex Impact Mucosal Bacterial Infection? Mucosal Defenses and Bacterial Detection
Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections possess substantial sex disparities in the incidence, immune response, and progression of infection. Some of these distinctions may be due to sexual dimorphism in mucosal barriers or sex differences in the initial immune response to infection.
