Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Klebsiella pneumoniae Type 1 Fimbriae by Detection of Phase Variation during Colonization and Infection and Impact on Virulence
TL;DR: During colonization and infection, there is pronounced selective pressure in different host environments for selection of either the type 1 fimbriated or nonfimbriate phenotype of K. pneumoniae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a Conserved Chromosomal Region Encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae Type 1 and Type 3 Fimbriae and Assessment of the Role of Fimbriae in Pathogenicity
TL;DR: Type 3 fimbriae were established not to be a virulence factor in uncomplicated K. pneumoniae infections and their role in development of infections in catheterized patients needs to be elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the putative virulence gene magA in a worldwide collection of 495 Klebsiella isolates: magA is restricted to the gene cluster of Klebsiella pneumoniae capsule serotype K1.
TL;DR: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well-known opportunistic pathogen associated with nosocomial infections such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia and septicaemia and was reported as the most common organism isolated from pyogenic liver abscesses in two independent USA studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solonamide B inhibits quorum sensing and reduces Staphylococcus aureus mediated killing of human neutrophils.
Anita Nielsen,Maria Månsson,Martin Saxtorph Bojer,Lone Gram,Thomas Ostenfeld Larsen,Richard P. Novick,Dorte Frees,Hanne Frøkiær,Hanne Ingmer +8 more
TL;DR: In strain USA300 Solonamide B dramatically reduced the activity of α-hemolysin and the transcription of psma encoding PSMs with an 80% reduction in toxicity of supernatants towards human neutrophils and rabbit erythrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myricetin protects Galleria mellonella against Staphylococcus aureus infection and inhibits multiple virulence factors
Laura Silva,G. C. A. da Hora,Thereza A. Soares,Thereza A. Soares,Martin Saxtorph Bojer,Hanne Ingmer,Alexandre José Macedo,Danielle da Silva Trentin,Danielle da Silva Trentin +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that myricetin, but not its glycosylated form, can remarkably decrease the production of several S. aureus virulence factors, including adhesion, biofilm formation, hemolysis and staphyloxanthin production, without interfering with growth.
