RinA controls phage-mediated packaging and transfer of virulence genes in gram-positive bacteria
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Phage-mediated transfer of microbial genetic elements plays a crucial role in bacterial life style and evolution. In this study, we identify the RinA family of phage-encoded proteins as activators required for transcription ...
Bap, a biofilm matrix protein of Staphylococcus aureus prevents cellular internalization through binding to GP96 host receptor
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Artículo / Artikulua,
The biofilm matrix, composed of exopolysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids, plays a well-known role as a defence
structure, protecting bacteria from the host immune system and antimicrobial therapy. However, ...
Staphylococcal Bap proteins build amyloid scaffold biofilm matrices in response to environmental signals
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Major components of the biofilm matrix scaffold are proteins that assemble to create a unified structure that maintain bacteria attached to each other and to surfaces. We provide evidence that a surface protein present in ...
Inhibiting the two‑component system GraXRS with verteporfin to combat Staphylococcus aureus infections
(Nature Research, 2020)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus pose a serious and sometimes fatal health issue. With the
aim of exploring a novel therapeutic approach, we chose GraXRS, a Two-Component System (TCS)
that determines bacterial ...
Relevant role of fibronectin-binding proteins in Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-associated foreign-body infections
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcus aureus can establish chronic infections on implanted medical devices due to its capacity to form biofilms. Analysis of the factors that assemble cells into a biofilm has revealed the occurrence of strains ...
Protein A-mediated multicellular behavior in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The capacity of Staphylococcus aureus to form biofilms on host tissues and implanted medical devices is one of the major virulence traits underlying persistent and chronic infections. The matrix in which S. aureus cells ...
Role of biofilm-associated protein bap in the pathogenesis of bovine Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of intramammary infections, which frequently become chronic, associated with the ability of the bacteria to produce biofilm. Here, we report a relationship between the ability to ...
Expression of the biofilm-associated protein interferes with host protein receptors of Staphylococcus aureus and alters the infective process
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to soluble proteins and extracellular-matrix components of the host is one of the key steps in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections. S. aureus presents a family of adhesins ...
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island DNA is packaged in particles composed of phage proteins
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) have an intimate relationship with temperate staphylococcal phages. During phage growth, SaPIs are induced to replicate and are efficiently encapsidated into special small ...
Killing niche competitors by remote-control bacteriophage induction
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
A surprising example of interspecies competition is the production
by certain bacteria of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations that are
lethal for others. A case in point is the displacement of Staphylococcus
aureus by ...
