Objective(s):Typhoid fever is a dreadful disease of a major threat to public health in developing countries. Vaccination with bacterial immunodominant components such as surface proteins may prove as a potent alternative to live attenuated vaccines. InvH, an important part of needle complex in type three secretion system (TTSS) plays important role in efficient bacterial adherence and entry int...

The basis of gliding motility in prokaryotes including certain mycoplasmas and the ability of mycoplasmas to retain their characteristic cell shapes in the absence of a supporting cell wall is unexplained. This review examines the available studies describing proteins resembling contractile proteins and cytoskeletal proteins in prokaryotes. Proteins with a significant degree of amino acid seque...

Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of death and disability in children worldwide. Two human restricted respiratory pathogens, Streptococcus pneumoniae Haemophilus influenzae , are the causative agents bacterial meningitis, attributing to 200,000 deaths annually. These pathogens often part nasopharyngeal microflora healthy carriers. However, what factors elicit them disseminate invasive disea...

• Microcompartment assembly is a complex process involving numerous proteins. Two microcompartment proteins, PduA and PduJ, self-assemble upon overexpression. PduJ self-assembly can be rapidly quantified via microscopy. Simultaneous, but not individual, deletion of pduA pduJ prevent MCP assembly. The self-assembling property essential for formation. Protein common biological phenomenon, bacteri...
