Bacterial surface layers (S-layers) are crystalline arrays of self-assembling proteinaceous
subunits called S-layer proteins (Slps) that comprise the outermost layer of the cell …

Mycoplasma bovis causes considerable economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. In
mycoplasmal infections, adhesion to the host cell is of the utmost importance. In this study …

S treptococcus pyogenes causes a broad spectrum of infectious diseases, including
pharyngitis, skin infections and invasive necrotizing fasciitis. The initial phase of infection …

Systemic dissemination of microbial pathogens permits microbes to spread from the initial
site of infection to secondary target tissues and is responsible for most mortality due to …

The main strategies used by pathogenic bacteria to infect eukaryotic tissue include their
adherence to cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), the subsequent colonization and …

A new monomer, 2-[2-((2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosylthio) propyl)]-2-oxazoline
