Differential transcription of virulence genes in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans serotypes
BACKGROUND Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans serotypes are clearly associated with periodontitis or health, which suggests distinct strategies for survival within the host. OBJECTIVE We investigated the transcription profile of virulence-associated genes in A. actinomycetemcomitans serotype b (JP2 and SUNY 465) strains associated with disease and serotype a (ATCC 29523) strain associated ...
متن کاملVirulence Mechanisms of Leukotoxin from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a gram-negative bacterium that is present in the oral cavity of a large proportion of the human population (Zambon et al., 1983; Henderson et al., 2010) The bacterium is acquired through transmission from infected individuals and thought to initially colonize oral mucosa as a facultative intracellular pathogen (Fine et al., 2006). When the bacteria trans...
متن کاملDifferential expression of CC chemokines (CCLs) and receptors (CCRs) by human T lymphocytes in response to different Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans serotypes
UNLABELLED In Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, different serotypes have been described based on LPS antigenicity. Recently, our research group has reported a differential immunogenicity when T lymphocytes were stimulated with these different serotypes. In particular, it was demonstrated that the serotype b of A. actinomycetemcomitans has a stronger capacity to trigger Th1- and Th17-type c...
متن کاملProteomics of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Outer Membrane Vesicles
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is an oral and systemic pathogen associated with aggressive forms of periodontitis and with endocarditis. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) released by this species have been demonstrated to deliver effector proteins such as cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) and leukotoxin (LtxA) into human host cells and to act as triggers of innate immunity upon carriage of ...
متن کاملEmaA, a potential virulence determinant of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans in infective endocarditis.
The gram-negative fastidious human oropharyngeal Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is implicated in the etiology of infective endocarditis. EmaA, an oligomeric coiled-coil adhesin homologous to YadA of Yersinia enterocolitica, was hypothesized to mediate the interaction of A. actinomycetemcomitans with collagen. Collagen, the most abundant protein in human bodies and the main component of e...
