A Visual Assay to Monitor T6SS-mediated Bacterial Competition
Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are molecular nanomachines allowing Gram-negative bacteria to transport and inject proteins into a wide variety of target cells(1,2). The T6SS is composed of 13 core components and displays structural similarities with the tail-tube of bacteriophages(3). The phage uses a tube and a puncturing device to penetrate the cell envelope of target bacteria and inject D...
متن کاملAnaerobiosis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Implications for Treatments of Airway Infection
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as an opportunistic pathogen, establishes a chronic infection in the respiratory track of patients suffering from pneumonia and bronchiectasis, including cystic fibrosis. Biofilm formation inside the oversecreted mucus layer lining the patient airway and production of virulence factors, a process controlled by quorum sensing, are considered to be the major virulence dete...
متن کاملAcquisition and role of molybdate in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
In microaerophilic or anaerobic environments, Pseudomonas aeruginosa utilizes nitrate reduction for energy production, a process dependent on the availability of the oxyanionic form of molybdenum, molybdate (MoO4 (2-)). Here, we show that molybdate acquisition in P. aeruginosa occurs via a high-affinity ATP-binding cassette permease (ModABC). ModA is a cluster D-III solute binding protein capab...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa protease IV produces corneal damage and contributes to bacterial virulence.
PURPOSE A Pseudomonas mutant deficient in protease IV has significantly reduced virulence in experimental keratitis. In the present study, the corneal toxicity of purified protease IV and its ability to augment the virulence of protease-IV-deficient bacteria were analyzed. METHODS The toxicity of purified protease IV was determined by intrastromally injecting the exoenzyme (20-200 ng) into th...
متن کاملIn vivo bacterial protease production during Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infection.
PURPOSE To establish if active pseudomonal proteases are present in vivo during corneal infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to determine if the mouse strains used in these and previous studies have the ability to mount a nonocular antibody response to the purified proteases because antibodies to the bacterial proteases were not detected previously during in vivo ocular infection. METHOD...
