Identification of the long polar fimbriae gene variants in the locus of enterocyte effacement-negative Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from humans and cattle in Argentina [PDF]
, 2010 The long polar fimbriae (Lpf) is one of few adhesive factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and it is associated with colonization of the intestine. Studies have demonstrated the presence of lpf genes in several pathogenic E.

When is a bacterial “virulence factor” really virulent? [PDF]
, 2016 ABSTRACTBacterial traits that contribute to disease are termed ‘virulence factors’ and there is much interest in therapeutic approaches that disrupt such traits. However, ecological theory predicts disease severity to be multifactorial and context dependent, which might complicate our efforts to identify the most generally important virulence factors ...

Epidemiological and genomic analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii strains from retailed raw meat
HeliyonAcinetobacter baumannii causes hospital-acquired infections in human patients with compromised immune system. Strains associated to nosocomial infections are often resistant to carbapenems and belong to few international clones (IC1-11). A.

Hanks-Type Serine/Threonine Protein Kinases and Phosphatases in Bacteria: Roles in Signaling and Adaptation to Various Environments [PDF]
, 2018 Reversible phosphorylation is a key mechanism that regulates many cellular processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, signal transduction includes two-component signaling systems, which involve a membrane sensor histidine kinase and a ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...
