Antibiofilm activity of flavonoids on staphylococcal biofilms through targeting BAP amyloids
The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for causing infections related to indwelling medical devices, where this pathogen is able to attach and form biofilms. The intrinsic properties given by the ... -
Biofilm properties in relation to treatment outcome in patients with first-time periprosthetic hip or knee joint infection
Background: periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are challenging complications following arthroplasty. Staphylococci are a frequent cause of PJI and known biofilm producers. Biofilm formation decreases antimicrobial ... -
The biofilm-associated surface protein Esp of Enterococcus faecalis forms amyloid-like fibers
Functional amyloids are considered as common building block structures of the biofilm matrix in different bacteria. In previous work, we have shown that the staphylococcal surface protein Bap, a member of the Biofilm-Associated ... -
A DIVA vaccine strain lacking RpoS and the secondary messenger c-di-GMP for protection against salmonellosis in pigs
Salmonellosis is the second most common food-borne zoonosis in the European Union, with pigs being a major reservoir of this pathogen. Salmonella control in pig production requires multiple measures amongst which vaccination ... -
Elevated c-di-GMP levels promote biofilm formation and biodesulfurization capacity of Rhodococcus erythropolis
Bacterial biofilms provide high cell density and a superior adaptation and protection from stress conditions compared to planktonic cultures, making them a very promising approach for bioremediation. Several Rhodococcus ... -
Fitness cost evolution of natural plasmids of staphylococcus aureus
Plasmids have largely contributed to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes among Staphylococcus strains. Knowledge about the fitness cost that plasmids confer on clinical staphylococcal isolates and the coevolutionary ... -
The impact of two-component sensorial network in staphylococcal speciation
Bacteria use two-component systems (TCSs) to sense and respond to their environments. Free-living bacteria usually contain dozens of TCSs, each of them responsible for sensing and responding to a different range of signals. ... -
Inhibiting the two‑component system GraXRS with verteporfin to combat Staphylococcus aureus infections
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 ... -
A pyrene-inhibitor fluorescent probe with large stokes shift for the staining of Aβ1–42, α-synuclein, and amylin amyloid fibrils as well as amyloid-containing staphylococcus aureus biofilms
Amyloid fibrils formed by a variety of peptides are biological markers of different human diseases, such as Alzheimer, Parkinson or Type II diabetes, and are structural constituents of bacterial ... -
The role of ArlRS and VraSR in regulating ceftaroline hypersusceptibility in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections are a global health problem. New control strategies, including fifth-generation cephalosporins such as ceftaroline, have been developed, however rare sporadic resistance ... -
RsaI, un ARN régulateur aux multiples facettes, module le métabolisme du pathogène opportuniste Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus est une bactérie commensale retrouvée chez environ 30 % des individus sains dont elle colonise la peau et la muqueuse nasale. Cependant, c’est également une bactérie pathogène opportuniste ... -
Structural mechanism for modulation of functional amyloid and biofilm formation by Staphylococcal Bap protein switch
The Staphylococcal Bap proteins sense environmental signals (such as pH, [Ca2+]) to build amyloid scaffold biofilm matrices via unknown mechanisms. We here report the crystal structure of the aggregation-prone region of ... -
A systematic evaluation of the two-component systems network reveals that ArlRS is a key regulator of catheter colonization by Staphylococcus aureus
Two-component systems (TCS) are modular signal transduction pathways that allow cells to adapt to prevailing environmental conditions by modifying cellular physiology. Staphylococcus aureus has 16 TCSs to adapt to the ... -
Systematic reconstruction of the complete two-component sensorial network in staphylococcus aureus
In bacteria, adaptation to changes in the environment is mainly controlled through two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs). Most bacteria contain dozens of TCSs, each of them responsible for sensing a different ...
