Despite increasing knowledge on phylogenetic composition of the human microbiome, our
understanding of the in situ activities of the organisms in the community and their …

Bacteria that reside in animal tissues and/or cells must acquire iron from their host. However,
almost all of the host iron is sequestered in iron-containing compounds and proteins, the …

Biofilm formation by the periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is
dependent upon autoinducer-2 (AI-2)-mediated quorum sensing. However, the components …

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetecomitans) is a Gram-negative
bacterial species that is an essential component of the oral microbiota. Due to its …

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that causes severe nosocomial
infections. Strain ATCC 19606T utilizes the siderophore acinetobactin to acquire iron under …

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a gram-negative facultative anaerobe and an
opportunistic oral pathogen, strongly associated with periodontitis and other inflammatory …

Increasing evidence support the association between the oral microbiome and human
systemic diseases. This association may be attributed to the ability of many oral microbes to …

Recently, multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii have been found
to have a high capacity to form biofilm. It is well known that bacterial cells within biofilms are …
