When and where? Pathogenic Escherichia coli differentially sense host D-serine using a universal transporter system to monitor their environment [PDF]
, 2016 Sensing environmental stimuli is critically important for bacteria when faced with the multitude of adversities presented within the host. Responding appropriately to these signals and in turn integrating these responses into the regulatory network of ...

Donor-strand exchange in chaperone-assisted pilus assembly revealed in atomic detail by molecular dynamics [PDF]
, 2008 Adhesive multi-subunit fibres are assembled on the surface of many pathogenic bacteria via the chaperone-usher pathway. In the periplasm, a chaperone donates a β-strand to a pilus subunit to complement its incomplete immunoglobulin-like fold.

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 ...

Origins and virulence mechanisms of uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Experimental and Molecular Pathology, 2008 Strains of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infections, including both cystitis and pyelonephritis. These bacteria have evolved a multitude of virulence factors and strategies that facilitate bacterial growth and persistence within the adverse settings of the host urinary tract.

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.

Functional heterogeneity of the UpaH autotransporter protein from uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2012 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.
