[ 1 ] - Development of a Novel Anti-Adhesive Vaccine Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa Targeting the C-terminal Disulfide Loop of the Pilin Protein
The type IV pili (T4P) is a major virulence factor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) that is associated with primary adhesion, biofilm formation and twitching motility. This study focuses on the introduction of a novel biologically active subunit vaccine derived from the disulfide loop (DSL) of P. aeruginosa pilin. We investigated the expression of the novel PilA in-frame with pET26a ve...
[ 2 ] - High Yield Overexpression, Refolding, Purification and Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type B-Flagellin: An Improved Method Without Sonication
Pseudomonas aeruginosa as an opportunistic pathogen is a significant cause of acute and chronic infections in patients with compromised defenses. This bacterium is motile via a single polar flagellum made of polymerized flagellin subunits differentiated into two major serotypes: A and B. flagellin plays an important role as a virulence factor in the adhesion, colonization and invasion of P. aer...
[ 3 ] - Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis: passive immunotherapy with antibodies raised against divalent flagellin
Objective(s): Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections such as keratitis are considered among the major health problems worldwide due to the complexity of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance crisis, thus, finding new effective approaches for prevention and treatment of the infections seem to be still vital. In this report, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of topical administration of...
[ 4 ] - Effect of Amino Acid Substitutions on Biological Activity of Antimicrobial Peptide: Design, Recombinant Production, and Biological Activity
Recently, antimicrobial peptides have been introduced as potent antibiotics with a wide rangeof antimicrobial activities. They have also exhibited other biological activities, including antiinflammatory,growth stimulating, and anti-cancer activities. In this study, an analog of MagaininII was designed and produced as a recombinant fusion protein. The designed sequence containe...
