Plasmid parB contributes to uropathogenic Escherichia coli colonization in vivo by acting on biofilm formation and global gene regulation Open
The endogenous plasmid pUTI89 harbored by the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain UTI89 plays an important role in the acute stage of infection. The partitioning gene parB is important for stable inheritance of pUTI89. However, th…

The dynamic transcriptome during maturation of biofilms formed by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Open
Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a leading cause of chronic infections, forms prolific biofilms which afford an escape route from antibiotic treatment and host immunity. However, MRSA clones are genetically di…

Agrobacterium strains and strain improvement: Present and outlook Open
Almost 40 years ago the first transgenic plant was generated through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, which, until now, remains the method of choice for gene delivery into plants. Ever since, optimized Agrobacterium strai…

Structural Analysis of Jumbo Coliphage phAPEC6 Open
The phAPEC6 genome encodes 551 predicted gene products, with the vast majority (83%) of unknown function. Of these, 62 have been identified as virion-associated proteins by mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), including the major capsid protein …

Enzymes Catalyzing the TCA- and Urea Cycle Influence the Matrix Composition of Biofilms Formed by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus USA300 Open
In methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is known to negatively regulate production of the major biofilm-matrix exopolysaccharide, PIA/PNAG. However, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) p…

In planta expression of nanobody-based designer chicken antibodies targeting Campylobacter Open
Campylobacteriosis is a widespread infectious disease, leading to a major health and economic burden. Chickens are considered as the most common infection source for humans. Campylobacter mainly multiplies in the mucus layer of their caeca…
