Bacterial Adhesion and Entry into Host Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Successful establishment of infection by bacterial pathogens requires adhesion to host cells, colonization of tissues, and in certain cases, cellular invasion-followed by intracellular multiplication, dissemination to other tissues, or persistence. Bacteria use monomeric adhesins/invasins or highly sophisticated macromolecular machines such as type III secretion systems and retractile type IV pili to establish a complex host/pathogen molecular crosstalk that leads to subversion of cellular functions and establishment of disease.

Immuno-gold Labelling of Chlamydia trachomatis
Background Chlamydia trachomatis is considered as an important cause of preventable sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. It is known to be of an obligate intracellular nature and enters its target cells via an endocytic process. As major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is one of the main candidates for the attachment and entry of chlamydia to the host cells we have tried to label the epitopes...
متن کاملIntegrin-Mediated Host Cell Invasion by Type 1–Piliated Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), the primary causative agent of urinary tract infections, typically express filamentous adhesive organelles called type 1 pili that mediate both bacterial attachment to and invasion of bladder urothelial cells. Several host proteins have previously been identified as receptors for type 1 pili, but none have been conclusively shown to promote UPEC entry into...
متن کاملIcm/dot-independent entry of Legionella pneumophila into amoeba and macrophage hosts.
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, expresses a type IVB secretion apparatus that translocates bacterial proteins into amoeba and macrophage hosts. When stationary-phase cultures are used to infect hosts, the type IVB apparatus encoded by the icm/dot genes is required for entry, delay of phagosome-lysosome fusion, and intracellular multiplication within host ce...
متن کاملBacterial signals and cell responses during Shigella entry into epithelial cells.
Shigella invades epithelial cells by inducing cytoskeletal reorganization localized at the site of bacterial-host cell interaction. During entry, the Shigella type III secretion apparatus allows the insertion of a pore that contains the IpaB and IpaC proteins into cell membranes. Insertion of this complex is thought to allow translocation of the carboxy-terminus moiety of IpaC, but also of othe...
متن کاملBacterial Entry and Intracellular Processing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Epithelial Cells : Immunomorphological Evidence for Alterations in the Major Outer Membrane Protein RIB By Jan
The fate of the major outer membrane protein of the gonococcus, RIB, during the adherence, entry, and intracellular processing ofthe bacteria in infected epithelial cells was investigated using post-embedding immunoelectron microscopy. Various domains ofthe RIB molecule were probed at different stages in the infection. These studies revealed that RIB epitope exposure remained unaltered during t...
