Journal ArticleDOI
Metallic Copper as an Antimicrobial Surface
TL;DR: The mechanism of contact killing is understood since it may bear on central issues, such as the possibility of the emergence and spread of resistant organisms, cleaning procedures, and questions of material and object engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escherichia coli mechanisms of copper homeostasis in a changing environment
Christopher Rensing,Gregor Grass +1 more
TL;DR: Escherichia coli is equipped with multiple systems to ensure safe copper handling under varying environmental conditions, but pathways of copper uptake and intracellular copper handling are still not identified in E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic detoxification and evolution of trimethylarsine gas by a microbial arsenite S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferase.
TL;DR: A mechanism of arsenite [As(III)]resistance through methylation and subsequent volatization is described, and this microbial-mediated transformation is proposed to have an important impact on the global arsenic cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
CopA: An Escherichia coli Cu(I)-translocating P-type ATPase
TL;DR: The results indicate that CopA is a Cu(I)-translocating efflux pump that is similar to the copper pumps related to Menkes and Wilson diseases and provides a useful prokaryotic model for these human diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Analysis of the Copper-Transporting Efflux System CusCFBA of Escherichia coli
TL;DR: In contrast to other well-studied CBA-type heavy metal efflux systems, Cus was shown to be a tetrapartite resistance system that involves the novel periplasmic copper-binding protein CusF, providing additional evidence for the hypothesis that Cu(I) is directly transported from the periplasms across the outer membrane by the Cus complex.
