Ordered and ushered; the assembly and translocation of the adhesive Type I and P Pili [PDF]
Type I and P pili are chaperone-usher pili of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, which allow bacteria to adhere to host cell receptors. Pilus formation and secretion are orchestrated by two accessory proteins, a chaperone, which catalyses pilus subunit ...

ABSTRACT Background Effective treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in dogs and cats relies on timely recognition of antimicrobial resistance, but traditional microbiological culture and susceptibility testing require 48–72 h and can be cost‐prohibitive.

Significance Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is responsible for most urinary tract infections and is also a frequent cause of sepsis, thus necessitating an understanding of UPEC-mediated subversion of innate immunity. The role of zinc in the innate

Functional heterogeneity of the UpaH autotransporter protein from uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are responsible for the majority of urinary tract infections(UTI). To cause UTI, UPEC must adhere to epithelial cells of the urinary tract and overcome the shear flow forces of urine.

Beyond FimH: Diversity and Relevance of Carbohydrate‐Binding Fimbrial Proteins in Escherichia coli
This review discusses fimbrial lectins found in Escherichia coli (E. coli) other than FimH, which could be targeted to treat E. coli pathogenicity as an alternative to antibiotic treatment. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for multiple diseases in humans and animals.

Molecular epidemiology of extraintestinal pathogenic (uropathogenic) Escherichia coli
Molecular epidemiological analyses of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which are also called "uropathogenic E. coli" since they are the principle pathogens in urinary tract infection, involve structured observations of E. coli as they occur in the wild.

Immune modulation by group B Streptococcus influences host susceptibility to urinary tract infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is most often caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). UPEC inoculation into the female urinary tract (UT) can occur through physical activities that expose the UT to an inherently polymicrobial periurethral, vaginal,

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...
