Base pairing interaction between 5′- and 3′-UTRs controls icaR mRNA translation in Staphylococcus aureus
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Artículo / Artikulua,
The presence of regulatory sequences in the 39 untranslated region (39-UTR) of eukaryotic mRNAs controlling RNA stability
and translation efficiency is widely recognized. In contrast, the relevance of 39-UTRs in bacterial ...
Biofilm switch and immune response determinants at early stages of infection
(Elsevier (Cell Press), 2013)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Biofilm development is recognized as a major virulence factor underlying most chronic bacterial infections. When a biofilm community is established, planktonic cells growing in the surroundings of a tissue switch to a ...
Amyloid structures as biofilm matrix scaffolds
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Recent insights into bacterial biofilm matrix structures have induced a paradigm shift toward the recognition of amyloid fibers
as common building block structures that confer stability to the exopolysaccharide matrix. ...
Sensory deprivation in Staphylococcus aureus
(Springer Nature, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Bacteria use two-component systems (TCSs) to sense and respond to environmental
changes. The core genome of the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus encodes 16
TCSs, one of which (WalRK) is essential. Here we show ...
Relative contribution of P5 and hap surface proteins to nontypable haemophilus influenzae interplay with the host upper and lower airways
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Nontypable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a major cause of opportunistic respiratory
tract disease, and initiates infection by colonizing the nasopharynx. Bacterial surface proteins
play determining roles in the ...
Lack of the PGA exopolysaccharide in Salmonella as an adaptive trait for survival in the host
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Many bacteria build biofilm matrices using a conserved exopolysaccharide named PGA or
PNAG (poly-β-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine). Interestingly, while E. coli and other members
of the family Enterobacteriaceae encode the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
