Antibodies to the lipopolysaccharide O antigen of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mediate high-
level immunity, but protective epitopes have proven to be poorly immunogenic, while …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant cause of global morbidity and mortality. Although it
is often regarded as an extracellular pathogen toward human cells, numerous investigations …

We reported previously that Muc1 on the surface of epithelial cells was a receptor for
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Lillehoj EP, Kim BT, and Kim KC. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol …

Rationale: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is the major bacterial pathogen colonizing the
airways of adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and causes chronic infections that persist …

In addition to its antibacterial activity, the cathelicidin-derived LL-37 peptide induces multiple
immunomodulatory effects on host cells. Atomic force microscopy, F-actin staining with …

BACKGROUND & AIMS:: Cryptosporidium parvum invasion of epithelia requires
polymerization of host cell actin at the attachment site. We analyzed the role of host cell c …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has gained precedence over the
years due to its ability to develop resistance to existing antibiotics, thereby necessitating …

A new link between the genetic defect and lung pathology in cystic fibrosis (CF) has been
established by the recent discovery of an abnormally acidic pH in the organelles of CF …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a major human pathogen capable of causing chronic
infections in hosts with weakened barrier functions and host defenses, most notably airway …

Apoptosis plays a central role in the complex balance between invading pathogen and host
defense. Depending on the pathogen, apoptosis of host cells may be beneficial or …
