Valle Turrillas, Jaione
; Latasa Osta, Cristina ; Gil Puig, Carmen ; Toledo Arana, Alejandro ; Solano Goñi, Cristina ; Penadés, José R.; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo (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, ... -
Global assessment of small RNAs reveals a non-coding transcript involved in biofilm formation and attachment in Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978
Álvarez Fraga, Laura; Rumbo Feal, Soraya; Pérez, Astrid; Gómez, Manuel J.; Valle Turrillas, Jaione (Public Library of Science, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua
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
Echeverz Sarasúa, Maite (2017)
Tesis doctoral / Doktoretza tesia
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
Taglialegna, Agustina; Navarro, Susanna; Ventura, Salvador; Garnett, James A.; Matthews, Steve; Penadés, José R.; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo ; Valle Turrillas, Jaione (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 ...
