The Dynamics of Single-Cell Nanomotion Behaviour of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a Microfluidic Chip for Rapid Antifungal Susceptibility Testing

Sandor Kasas, María Inés Villalba

The fast emergence of multi-resistant pathogenic yeasts is caused by the extensive-and sometimes unnecessary-use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs. To rationalise the use of broad-spectrum antifungals, it is essential to have a rapid and sensitive syst ...

Structure and transformation of bacteriophage A511 baseplate and tail upon infection of Listeria cells

Petr Leiman, Sergey Nazarov, Mikhail Shneyder, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Nicholas Michael Ian Taylor

Contractile injection systems (bacteriophage tails, type VI secretions system, R-type pyocins, etc.) utilize a rigid tube/contractile sheath assembly for breaching the envelope of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Among contractile injection systems, bacteri ...

E-coli-MS2 bacteriophage interactions during solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent post-irradiation period

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Margaux Océane Voumard

In this study, the effect of MS2 bacteriophage on the inactivation of its Escherichia coli host was evaluated in an effort to recreate some the main factors governing solar disinfection of wastewater (namely microbial growth, infection, photonic flux). As ...

Structure and Analysis of R1 and R2 Pyocin Receptor-Binding Fibers

Petr Leiman, Mikhail Shneyder, Sergii Buth

The R-type pyocins are high-molecular weight bacteriocins produced by some strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to specifically kill other strains of the same species. Structurally, the R-type pyocins are similar to simple contractile tails, such as those of ...

Structural and functional analysis of host attachment proteins from contractile injection systems

Michel Plattner

Bacteriophages of the myoviridae family, R-type pyocin, Photorhabus virulence cassette (PVC), Serratia antifeeding prophage (Afp) and type 6 secretion system (T6SS) form a class of contractile injection systems that share common structural and functional c ...

Structure of the T4 baseplate and its function in triggering sheath contraction

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Petr Leiman, Mikhail Shneyder, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Christopher Browning, Nicholas Michael Ian Taylor

Several systems, including contractile tail bacteriophages, the type VI secretion system and R-type pyocins, use a multiprotein tubular apparatus to attach to and penetrate host cell membranes. This macromolecular machine resembles a stretched, coiled spri ...

Contractile Tail Machines of Bacteriophages

Petr Leiman, Mikhail Shneyder

Bacteriophages with contractile tails epitomize the concepts of "virus" and "phage" for many because the tails of these phages undergo a large conformational change - resembling the action of a syringe - upon the attachment to the host cell. The contractil ...
