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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Role of biofilm-associated protein bap in the pathogenesis of bovine Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of intramammary infections, which frequently become chronic, associated with the ability of the bacteria to produce biofilm. Here, we report a relationship between the ability to ...
Expression of the biofilm-associated protein interferes with host protein receptors of Staphylococcus aureus and alters the infective process
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to soluble proteins and extracellular-matrix components of the host is one of the key steps in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal infections. S. aureus presents a family of adhesins ...
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 ...
Staphylococcus aureus develops an alternative, ica-independent biofilm in the absence of the arlRS two-component system
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The biofilm formation capacity of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates is considered an important virulence
factor for the establishment of chronic infections. Environmental conditions affect the biofilm formation
capacity ...
SarA positively controls Bap-dependent biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The biofilm-associated protein Bap is a staphylococcal surface protein involved in biofilm formation. We
investigated the influence of the global regulatory locus sarA on bap expression and Bap-dependent biofilm
formation ...
