Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDifferential Gene Expression of Peroxide Resistant Protein (AhpC) in Planktonic and Biofilm State of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CellsOmar Sadik Shalal, Ani-Simona SevastreThe gastrointestinal tract seems to be the primary reservoir of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in humans. UPEC strains harbor the Urinary Tract (UT) and cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) which might represent a serious threat to human life. To counteract with the damage caused by the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), bacterial strains produce various enzymes and proteins like Alkyl hydroperoxide … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2023 · 5,324 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHuman Insulin Modulation of Escherichia coli Adherence and ChemotaxisKarolina Klosowska, Balbina J. PlotkinEscherichia coli exhibited increased hydrophobicity and mannose-resistant epithelial cell adherence after growth in the presence of human insulin (2 μU mL-1 or 200 μUmL-1 insulin, respectively) with glucose (100 mg dL-1). Capsule production and hemagglutination were unaffected by insulin and glucose. Chemotactic attraction to glucose as compared to insulin or glucose alone was enhanced by the presence of insulin. Insulin … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,104 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDF Cite
