TL;DR: Several chromosomally encoded proteins that may contribute to pathogenicity—including haemolysins, phospholipases and iron acquisition functions—and numerous surface proteins that might be important targets for vaccines and drugs are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
d-Alanine Substitution of Teichoic Acids as a Modulator of Protein Folding and Stability at the Cytoplasmic Membrane/Cell Wall Interface of Bacillus subtilis
Hanne-Leena Hyyryläinen,Marika Vitikainen,Joanne Elizabeth Thwaite,Hongyan Wu,Matti Sarvas,Colin R. Harwood,Vesa P. Kontinen,Keith Stephenson +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that main influence of the increased net negative charge of the wall caused by the absence of d-alanine is to increase the rate of post-translocational folding of exported proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of blue light against nosocomial wound pathogens growing planktonically and as mature biofilms
Fenella D. Halstead,Fenella D. Halstead,Fenella D. Halstead,Joanne Elizabeth Thwaite,Rebecca Burt,Rebecca Burt,Thomas R. Laws,Marina Raguse,Ralf Moeller,Mark A. Webber,Mark A. Webber,Beryl Oppenheim,Beryl Oppenheim +12 more
TL;DR: Blue light shows great promise as a novel decontamination strategy for the nosocomial environment, as well as additional wider decontaminations applications (e.g., wound closure during surgery).
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteolytic Degradation of Human Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37 by Bacillus anthracis May Contribute to Virulence
TL;DR: Findings suggest that alongside the classical plasmid-based virulence determinants, extracellular metalloproteases of B. anthracis may play a role in survival in the host.
Journal ArticleDOI
A carpet-based mechanism for direct antimicrobial peptide activity against vaccinia virus membranes.
R.E. Dean,L.M. O’Brien,Joanne Elizabeth Thwaite,Marc Alan Fox,Helen S. Atkins,David O. Ulaeto +5 more
TL;DR: Density gradient analysis of the treated virions indicated the virus outer membrane was efficiently removed by peptide action and suggests a mechanism of direct virus inactivation that is consistent with the carpet model for peptide-mediated membrane disruption.
