Correction: Translation Elongation Factor Tuf of Acinetobacter baumannii Is a Plasminogen-Binding Protein
The images for S1 Fig, S2 Fig and S3 Fig are swapped. The image for S1 Fig should be S3 Fig, the image for S2 Fig should be S1 Fig, and the image for S3 Fig should be S2 Fig. Please view the correct Supporting Information Figures below. S1 Fig. Stability of fibrinogen and degradation by plasmin. To assess whether degradation of fibrinogen occurs during prolonged incubation at 37°C, purified fib...
متن کاملTranslation Elongation Factor Tuf of Acinetobacter baumannii Is a Plasminogen-Binding Protein
Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen, causing a variety of opportunistic infections of the skin, soft tissues and wounds, urinary tract infections, secondary meningitis, pneumonia and bacteremia. Over 63% of A. baumannii infections occurring in the United States are caused by multidrug resistant isolates, and pan-resistant isolates have begun to emerge that are resistant ...
متن کاملImmune evasion of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa: elongation factor Tuf is a factor H and plasminogen binding protein.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that can cause a wide range of clinical symptoms and infections that are frequent in immunocompromised patients. In this study, we show that P. aeruginosa evades human complement attack by binding the human plasma regulators Factor H and Factor H-related protein-1 (FHR-1) to its surface. Factor H binds to intact bacteria via two sites th...
متن کاملSilver Resistance In Acinetobacter baumannii BL54 Occurs Through Binding to a Ag-Binding Protein
The mechanism of plasmid mediated silver (Ag) resistance was investigated in Acinetobacter baumanniiBL54. The intracellular accumulation of Ag in both original strain BL54 and Escherichia coli K12transconjugant containing plasmid pUPI276 began immediately and reached a maximum within 60 minutes.This initial accumulation was followed by net loss of Ag which reached a maximum wi...
متن کاملCorrection: Staphylococcus aureus Manganese Transport Protein C (MntC) Is an Extracellular Matrix- and Plasminogen-Binding Protein
Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus--particularly nosocomial infections--represent a great concern. Usually, the early stage of pathogenesis consists on asymptomatic nasopharynx colonization, which could result in dissemination to other mucosal niches or invasion of sterile sites, such as blood. This pathogenic route depends on scavenging of nutrients as well as binding to and disrupting...
