Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous Gram-negative pathogen known to inhabit
hypoxic mucus plugs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patient lungs. Despite the high prevalence and …

Background The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria provides a barrier to the
passage of hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds into the cell. The OM has embedded …

Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that is the major cause
of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). While most CF patients are …

The serum complement system is essential for innate immune defense against invading
pathogenic bacteria. Some of the 8-stranded β-barrel outer membrane proteins confer …

Gram negative bacteria have evolved many mechanisms of attaching to and invading host
epithelial and immune cells. In particular, many outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are …

Outer membrane proteins of the Gram-negative organism Pseudomonas aeruginosa play a
significant role in membrane permeability, antibiotic resistance, nutrient uptake, and …

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of salicylic acid on the membrane
proteome, sensitivity to antibiotics, and production of microbial keratitis by Pseudomonas …

Bacterial biofilm development is conditioned by complex processes involving bacterial
attachment to surfaces, growth, mobility, and exoproduct production. The marine bacterium …

Similar to what has been described in other Gram-negative bacteria, Brucella melitensis
releases outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). OMVs from B. melitensis 16M and the rough …

Iron plays a central role at the interface of pathogen and host. The ability to sequester iron
from a host not only reduces host immune defenses but also promotes pathogen virulence …
