Phage therapy as a novel strategy in the treatment of urinary tract infections caused by E. coli
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are regarded as one of the most common bacterial infections affecting millions of people, in all age groups, annually in the world. The major causative agent of complicated and uncomplicated UTIs are uropathogenic E. coli strains (UPECs). Huge problems with infections of this type are their chronicity and periodic recurrences. Other disadvantages that are associated with UTIs are accompanying complications...

Influence of the ionic strength on the amyloid fibrillogenesis of hen egg white lysozyme
The study investigates the role of the electrostatic interactions in the fibrillation of the hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL). In order to achieve this aim the influence of the cations Na+, Mg2+ and Al3+ on the amyloid fibril formation and amorphous aggregation was tested. The amyloids are formed in the solution without added salt but the Thioflavin T fluorescence gives the false-negative result. In these conditions, the HEWL fibrils...

Molecular aspects of biogenesis of Escherichia coli Dr Fimbriae: characterization of DraB-DraE complexes
Hemaglutynina Dr uropatogennych szczepów Escherichia coli jest fimbrialnym homopolimerem zbudowanym z podjednostek białkowych DraE kodowanych przez operon dra. Operon dra zawiera geny draB i draC, kodujące białka homologiczne do białek (białko opiekuńcze-białko kanałotwórcze) zaangażowanych w procesie biogenezy struktur polimerycznych eksprymowanych powierzchniowo. Białko DraB jest jednym z białek periplazmatycznych, należącym...
