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 ...
The regulon of the RNA chaperone CspA and its auto-regulation in Staphylococcus aureus
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are essential to finetune
gene expression. RBPs containing the coldshock
domain are RNA chaperones that have been
extensively studied. However, the RNA targets and
specific functions for ...
Killing niche competitors by remote-control bacteriophage induction
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
A surprising example of interspecies competition is the production
by certain bacteria of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations that are
lethal for others. A case in point is the displacement of Staphylococcus
aureus by ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The role of ArlRS and VraSR in regulating ceftaroline hypersusceptibility in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
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 ...
Antibiofilm activity of flavonoids on staphylococcal biofilms through targeting BAP amyloids
(Nature Research, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
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 ...
