The combined impact of persistent infections and human genetic variation on C-reactive protein levels

Jacques Fellay, Olivier Noël Marie Naret, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Clara Bonnet

Multiple human pathogens establish chronic, sometimes life-long infections. Even if they are often latent, these infections can trigger some degree of local or systemic immune response, resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation. There remains an incomple ...

Bacterial matrix metalloproteases and serine proteases contribute to the extra-host inactivation of enteroviruses in lake water

Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann

Enteroviruses are ubiquitous contaminants of surface waters, yet their fate in presence of microbial congeners is poorly understood. In this work, we investigated the inactivation of Echovirus-11 (E11) and Coxsackievirus-A9 (CVA9) by bacteria isolated from ...

Sirt6 deletion in bone marrow-derived cells increases atherosclerosis - Central role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Alexander Sokrates Stein, Julien Weber, Tasneem Arsiwala

Aims: Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that plays a key role in DNA repair, inflammation and lipid regulation. Sirt6-null mice show severe metabolic defects and accelerated aging. Macrophage-foam cell formation via scavenger receptors is ...

Loss of Bacterial Cell Pole Stabilization in Caulobacter crescentus Sensitizes to Outer Membrane Stress and Peptidoglycan-Directed Antibiotics

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Julien Bortoli Chapalay

Rod-shaped bacteria frequently localize proteins to one or both cellpoles in order to regulate processes such as chromosome replication or polar organ-elle development. However, the roles of polar factors in responses to extracellularstimuli have been gene ...

Intracellular bacteria engage a STING-TBK1-MVB12b pathway to enable paracrine cGAS-STING signalling

Andrea Ablasser, Bing Zhang, Alix Martin, Ensieh Farahani

The innate immune system is crucial for eventual control of infections, but may also contribute to pathology. Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular Gram-positive bacteria and a major cause of food-borne disease. However, important knowledge on the int ...

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

Sergey Nazarov, Petr Leiman, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira

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 ...

A microfluidic cell-trapping device to study dynamic host-microbe interactions at the single-cell level

John McKinney, Matthieu Jean-Hubert Delincé, Chiara Toniolo

Single-cell imaging of host-microbe interactions over time is impeded by cellular motility because the cells under scrutiny tend to migrate out of the imaging field. To overcome this technical challenge, we developed a microfluidic platform for imaging hun ...

Atomic Force Microscopy of Biological Systems: Quantitative Imaging and Nanomotion Detection

Petar Stupar

The core of this thesis is the application of different modalities of atomic force microscopy to study living systems. After a brief introduction, quantitative imaging state of the art is presented and the applications for mammalian, plant, bacterial, and ...

Characterization of Efficiency and Mechanisms of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Decontamination of Seeds for Sprout Production

Alexandra Waskow

The consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable products has strongly increased during the past few decades. However, inherent to all minimally processed products is the short shelf life, and the risk of foodborne diseases, which have been increasingly relate ...

EspL is essential for virulence and stabilizes EspE, EspF and EspH levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Nina Theres Odermatt, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Paloma Julia Soler Arnedo, Sofia Ulrika Magnusdotter Von Schultz

The ESX-1, type VII, secretion system represents the major virulence determinant of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, one of the most successful intracellular pathogens. Here, by combining genetic and high-throughput approaches, we show that EspL, a protein of 1 ...
