Bap, a biofilm matrix protein of Staphylococcus aureus prevents cellular internalization through binding to GP96 host receptor
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, ... -
Global assessment of small RNAs reveals a non-coding transcript involved in biofilm formation and attachment in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978
Many strains of Acinetobacter baumannii have been described as being able to form biofilm. Small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) control gene expression in many regulatory circuits in bacteria. The aim of the present work was to ... -
Insights into c-di-GMP signaling and the PGA exopolysaccharide biological functions using Salmonella as a model organism
Salmonella es un patógeno alimentario de gran relevancia clínica capaz de adherirse a superficies y formar comunidades bacterianas embebidas en una matriz que ellas mismas producen denominadas biofilms. Esta matriz ... -
Staphylococcal Bap proteins build amyloid scaffold biofilm matrices in response to environmental signals
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 ...
