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, ...
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging as an alternative to bioluminescent bacteria to monitor biomaterial-associated infections
(Elsevier, 2014)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Biomaterial-associated infection is one of the most common complications related with the
implantation of any biomedical device. Several in vivo imaging platforms have emerged as
powerful diagnostic tools to longitudinally ...
Evaluation of surface microtopography engineered by direct laser interference for bacterial anti-biofouling
(2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Biofilm formation by bacterial pathogens on the surface of medical and industrial settings is a 25 serious health problem. Modification of the biomaterial surface topography is a promising 26 strategy to prevent bacterial ...
Biofilm matrix exoproteins induce a protective immune response against Staphylococcus aureus biofilm infection
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)
Artículo / Artikulua,
The Staphylococcus aureus biofilm mode of growth is associated with several chronic infections that are very difficult to treat due
to the recalcitrant nature of biofilms to clearance by antimicrobials. Accordingly, there ...
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 ...
Calcium inhibits bap-dependent multicellular behavior in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Bap (biofilm-associated protein) is a 254-kDa staphylococcal surface protein implicated in formation of biofilms by staphylococci isolated from chronic mastitis infections. The presence of potential EF-hand motifs in the ...
Bap, a Staphylococcus aureus surface protein involved in biofilm formation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Identification of new genes involved in biofilm formation is needed to understand the molecular basis of strain variation and the pathogenic mechanisms implicated in chronic staphylococcal infections. A biofilm-producing ...
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 ...
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 ...
