Siderophore-microcins are antimicrobial peptides produced by enterobacteria, especially
Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The antibiotic peptide is post …

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae causes liver abscess and potentially devastating
metastatic complications. The majority of Klebsiella-induced liver abscess are caused by the …

Intracellular iron homeostasis in bacteria is primarily regulated by ferric uptake regulator
(Fur). It has been postulated that when intracellular free iron content is elevated, Fur binds …

Escherichia coli ferric uptake regulator (Fur) binds a [2Fe–2S] cluster, not a mononuclear
iron, when the intracellular free iron content is elevated in E. coli cells. Here we report that …

Plantaricin 423 is produced by Lactobacillus plantarum 423 using the pla biosynthetic
operon located on the 8,188-bp plasmid pPLA4. As with many class IIa bacteriocin operons …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen that persists in the
hospital environment and causes various clinical infections, primarily affecting …

Amyloids are supramolecular protein assemblies based on fibrillar arrangements of β-
sheets that were first found as linked to neurodegenerative and systemic human diseases …

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains, including the foodborne pathogen E.
coli O157: H7, are responsible for thousands of hospitalizations each year. Various …

Members of the genus Pseudomonas inhabit diverse environments, such as soil, water,
plants and humans. The variability of habitats is reflected in the diversity of the structure and …

Amyloids are protein polymers that were initially linked to human diseases. Across the whole
Tree of Life, many disease-unrelated proteins are now emerging for which amyloids …
