1. Anti-adhesion potential of non-polar compounds and extracts from Ficus natalensis
Abstract Four triterpenoids, ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraene-3-one 1, stigma-4-ene-3-one 2, 3β-hydroxy-21β-H-hop-22(29)-ene 3, sitosterol and a quinone, tectoquinone 4, were isolated from the leaf, stem bark and fruit extracts of Ficus natalensis subsp. natalensis, Moraceae, a medicinal fig found in Africa. The pure compounds 1–4 and crude extracts were te

2. New host record of five Flavobacterium species associated with tropical fresh water farmed fishes from North India
Abstract Yellow pigmented, filamentous, Gram-negative bacteria belonging to genus Flavobacterium are commonly associated with infections in stressed fish. In this study, inter-species diversity of Flavobacterium was studied in apparently healthy freshwater farmed fishes. For this, ninety one yellow pigmented bacteria were isolated from skin and gill samples

3. Fímbrias Pil em Escherichia coli enteropatogênica atípica: Caracterização e investigação do papel de PilS e PilV na adesão bacteriana. / Type IV pilus in atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli: characterization and investigation of PilS and PilV in bacterial adhesion role.
Fímbrias do tipo IV estão associadas a diversos fenótipos em bactérias gram-negativas, e o presente estudo consistiu na caracterização da fímbria Pil e investigação de seu papel na adesão bacteriana de isolados de EPEC atípica. Por PCR e RT-PCR foram investigadas a presença e a funcionalidade do operon Pil e os resultados demonstraram que este es

4. Mecanismos envolvidos com a sobrevivência de Xylella fastidiosa em condições de estresse e efeito de N-Acetil-L-Cisteína em seu biofilme / Mechanisms involved in Xylella fastidiosa survival under stress conditions and effect of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine on its biofilm
Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes several diseases in different plant species, including citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), whose economic damage is of millions of dollars annually. The symptoms development has been associated with the blockage of xylem vessels caused by bacterial biofilm

5. Estudo da variabilidade genética e dos fatores de virulência de isolados de Ureaplasma diversum. / Study of genetic variability and virulence factors of Ureaplasma diversum isolates.
The aim of the present study was the study of genetic variability and virulence factors of U. diversum clinical isolates. The strains were submitted to sequencing for 16S rRNA and urease genes. Moreover, the strains were analyzed to the virulence factors: capsule, phospholipase C, IgA protease and adhesion and invasion into Hep-2 cells. The sequencing of par

6. Production and characterization of gum operon mutants of Xylella fastidiosa cvc strain. / Produção e caracterização de mutantes do operon gum de Xylella fastidiosa.
Xylella fastidiosa is a fastidious, xylem restricted, gram.negative bacteria, that causes several economically important diseases as Pierce s disease of grapevine in USA and the Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC) in Brasil. CVC affects severely the São Paulo State citriculture jeopardizing thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of incomes. The genome sequ

7. Activation of human endothelial cells by viable or heat-killed gram-negative bacteria requires soluble CD14.
In response to bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS; endotoxin), endothelial cells are converted to an activation phenotype expressing both proinflammatory and procoagulant properties that include the induction of leukocyte adhesion molecules and tissue factor expression. LPS-induced endothelial cell activation requires a soluble form of the monocyte LPS recep

8. Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Synergistically Increase Expression of Human Endothelial Adhesion Molecules through Activation of NF-κB and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathways
One of the recognized associations of bacterial infection with cardiovascular events is the activation of endothelium and upregulation of adhesion molecules. The two major proinflammatory mediators implicated in the causation of cardiovascular events, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF), were found to cooperate to enhance

9. Cell-Wall Interactions and the Selective Bacteriostatic Activity of a Miniature Oligo-Acyl-Lysyl
The oligo-acyl-lysyl, C12(ω7)K-β12, is comprised of only three Lys residues. Despite its small size, it exhibits potent bacteriostatic activity against Gram-positive bacteria, but it is ∼10-fold less potent against Gram-negative bacteria. We followed the interactions of C12(ω7)K-β12 from its initial contact with the bacterial surface across the cell wa

10. Gamma Interferon Prevents the Inhibitory Effects of Oxidative Stress on Host Responses to Escherichia coli Infection
Oxidative stress occurs in animals challenged with bacterial endotoxin and can affect the expression of important host inflammatory genes. However, much less is known about the effects of oxidative stress on responses to gram-negative bacteria. The current study compared the effects of redox imbalance on hepatic responses of mice to Escherichia coli bacteria

11. Membrane-murein attachment at the leading edge of the division septum: a second membrane-murein structure associated with morphogenesis of the gram-negative bacterial division septum.
Electron microscopy of plasmolyzed cells of Salmonella typhimurium revealed a continuous zone of membrane-murein attachment at the leading edge of the division septum at all stages of septal invagination. The membrane-murein attachment site had a characteristic ultrastructural appearance and remained as a bacterial birth scar at the new pole of each of the t

12. Bioluminescence Assay for Measuring the Number of Bacteria Adhering to the Hydrocarbon Phase in the BATH Test
A thorough validation of the bacterial adherence to hydrocarbons (BATH) test was performed by means of a bioluminescence assay. Ten different gram-negative strains were subjected to the BATH test. For the calculation of the adhesion index, several factors had to be taken into account: ATP leakage, the action of ATP-hydrolyzing enzymes, the change in the extr
