Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes opportunistic infections
in immunocompromised individuals. P. aeruginosa employs a type III secretion system to …

A type III secretion system (T3SS)-associated cytotoxin, AexT, with ADP-ribosyltransferase
activity and homology to Pseudomonas aeruginosa bifuncational toxins ExoT/S, was …

The ocular surface usually looks quiet, presenting a general impression of biological
inactivity. Yet, the ability of the cornea to maintain health while continually exposed to …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an important cause of opportunistic infections in humans,
delivers bacterial cytotoxins by type III secretion directly into the host cell cytoplasm …

Purpose Melittin is an amphipathic antimicrobial peptide which has been shown to enhance
the permeability of mannitol and reduce transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) across …

Bacterial infection triggers an acute inflammatory response that might alter phospholipid
metabolism. We have investigated the acute-phase response of murine lung epithelia to …

We have previously shown that ExoU, a type III secreted cytotoxin of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, causes acute cytotoxicity towards corneal epithelial cells in vitro, and …

Abstract The Helicobacter pylori CagA protein induces profound morphological changes in
the host cytoskeleton and cell scattering, but the signalling involved is poorly understood …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most virulent opportunistic infectious agents of man.
Despite constant exposure to this bacterium, ubiquitously found in water, plants, and soil …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a normal inhabitant of soil and water and is ubiquitous in the
environment. Importantly, P. aeruginosa uses additional bacterial products encoded by the …
