Host-interaction effector molecules of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1
Abstract Lactobacillus plantarum is found in various environmental habitats, including fermentation products and the mammalian gastrointestinal tract, and specific strains are marketed as probiotics, which are defined as ‘live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host’. Throughout the studies of ...
Antimicrobial peptides and the interplay between microbes and host : towards preventing porcine infections with Streptoc...
The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria and the potential future implications for human and animal morbidity and mortality, health-care costs and economic losses pose an urgent worldwide problem. As a result, exploration of alternative strategies to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria have intensified over the las...
Discovery of inhibitors of bacterial histidine kinases
Discovery of Inhibitors of Bacterial Histidine Kinases Summary The thesis is on novel antibacterial drug discovery (http://youtu.be/NRMWOGgeysM). Using structure-based and fragment-based drug discovery approach, we have identified small-molecule histidine-kinase inhibitors with antibacterial effect against multi-drug resistant strains, including cl...
WUR - Weerbaarheid 1
Filmpje over weerbaarheid van planten en hoe dit goed en snel getoetst kan worden. In dit filmpje ook aandacht voor een eenvoudig techniek om sporen te vangen in de lucht.
Antimicrobial peptides with therapeutic potential from skin secretions of polyploid frogs of the Pipidae family
The emergence of pathogenic bacteria and fungi resistant to commonly used antibiotics poses a serious threat to public health and necessitates novel treatment approaches in order to control infections. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the central components of the system of innate immunity and due to their non-specific and highly destructiv...
Molecular analysis of candidate probiotic effector molecules of Lactobacillus plantarum
Probiotics are health-promoting microorganisms that exert their beneficial effects in several ways. While it is known that probiotic bacteria interact with cells of the host gastrointestinal tractand modulate cell-signaling responses by which they might promote health, the underlying molecular mechanism and probiotic “effector” molecules that are r...
Interactions of Streptococcus suis with host mucosa
The Cladosporium fulvum Avr2 protein behaves both as a virulence and an avirulence factor
Plants are not able to move or escape and have to confront environmental challenges like nutrient and water deprivation, low and high temperatures, and biotic stress imposed by pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and insects that all compete for plant nutrient sources. The outcome of a plant-pathogen interaction can vary from mild sy...
Functional genomics of Phytophthora infestans effectors and Solanum resistance genes
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is nowadays the most important non-cereal food crop in the world. It is prone to huge annual losses due to late blight, the disease caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Modern management of late blight necessitates the use of multiple resistance (R) genes, which requires efficient pipelines for ident...
