Chlamydia pneumoniaeis a respiratory tract pathogen but can also infect the central nervous system (CNS). Recently, the link betweenC. pneumoniaeCNS infection and late-onset dementia has become increasingly evident. In mice, CNS infection has been shown to occur weeks to months after intranasal ino...
Streptococcus pneumoniae , the pneumococcus, is a Gram-positive bacterium colonizing the human upper respiratory tract as a commensal. However, pneumococci often transmigrate into the bronchia and lung, causing severe respiratory infections; they can also enter the bloodstream, leading to septicemia. ...
Antibiotic resistance is increasing at a rate that far exceeds the pace of new development of drugs. Antimicrobial peptides, both synthetic and from natural sources, have raised interest as pathogens become resistant against conventional antibiotics. Indeed, one of the major strengths of this class ...
48Citations 50Altmetric Metrics Abstract Recombination-mediated genetic engineering, also known as recombineering, is the genomic incorporation of homologous single-stranded or double-stranded DNA into bacterial genomes. Recombineering and its derivative methods have radically improved genome engineering capabilit...

4. LPXTG motif: It has been experimentally determined that most anchored proteins found on the surface of gram-positive bacteria possess a highly conserved carboxy terminal sequence. More than fifty such proteins from organisms such as S. pyogenes, S. mutans, E. faecalis, S. pneumoniae, and ot...

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type I importers are widespread in bacteria and play a crucial role in its survival and pathogenesis. They share the same modular architecture comprising two intracellular nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), two transmembrane do
