Gram-negative bacteria express a wide variety of organelles on their cell surface. These
surface structures may be the end products of secretion systems, such as the hair-like fibers …

The Yersiniae are a group of Gram‐negative coccobacilli inhabiting a wide range of
habitats. The genus harbors three recognized human pathogens: Y. enterocolitica and Y …

Oxidized bacterial nanocellulose (OBC) is reported to prevent microbial growth, but its
antibacterial characteristics and mechanism are still unclear. Here, the antibacterial …

Chaperone/usher (CU) assembly pathway is used by a wide range of Enterobacteriaceae to
assemble adhesive surface structures called pili or fimbriae that play a role in bacteria-host …

Background Chronic bacterial infections occur as a result of the infecting pathogen's ability
to live within a biofilm, hence escaping the detrimental effects of antibiotics and the immune …

Adhesins are crucial virulence factors of pathogenic bacteria involved in colonization,
transmission and pathogenesis. Many bacterial genomes contain the information for a …

Hallmarks of Yersinia pathogenesis include the ability to form biofilms on surfaces, the ability
to establish close contact with eukaryotic target cells and the ability to hijack eukaryotic cell …

Madagascar has just emerged from the grip of an acute urban pneumonic plague outbreak,
which began in August 2017, before the usual plague season of October–April and outside …

The formation of adhesive surface structures called pili or fimbriae ('bacterial hair') is an
important contributor towards bacterial pathogenicity and persistence. To fight often chronic …

The chaperone-usher (CU) pathway is a conserved secretion system dedicated to the
assembly of a superfamily of virulence-associated surface structures by a wide range of …
