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 ...
Functional analysis of intergenic regulatory regions of genes encoding surface adhesins in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from periprosthetic joint infections
(Elsevier, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Surface adhesins play an important
role in the primary attachment to plasma proteins that coat the surface of prosthetic devices after ...
Bacterial biofilm functionalization through Bap amyloid engineering
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Biofilm engineering has emerged as a controllable way to fabricate living structures with programmable functionalities. The amyloidogenic proteins comprising the biofilms can be engineered to create self-assembling ...
Bap, a biofilm matrix protein of Staphylococcus aureus prevents cellular internalization through binding to GP96 host receptor
(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, ...
Staphylococcus aureus susceptibility to complestatin and corbomycin depends on the VraSR two-component system
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023)
Artículo / Artikulua,
The overuse of antibiotics in humans and livestock has driven the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance and has therefore prompted research
on the discovery of novel antibiotics. Complestatin (Cm) and corbomycin ...
Inhibiting the two‑component system GraXRS with verteporfin to combat Staphylococcus aureus infections
(Nature Research, 2020)
Artículo / Artikulua,
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
