MSCRAMM-MEDIATED ADHERENCE OF MICROORGANISMS TO HOST TISSUES

Patti, Joseph M., Allen, Bradley L., McGavin, Martin J., Höök, Magnus·1994·Annual Review of Microbiology

Abstract

Microbial adhesion to host tissue is the initial critical event in the pathogenesis of most infections and, as such, is an attractive target for the development of new antimicrobial therapeutics. Specific microbial components (adhesins) mediate adherence to host tissues by participating in amazingly sophisticated interactions with host molecules. This review focuses on a class of cell surface adhesins that specifically interact with extracellular matrix components and which we have designated MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules). MSCRAMMs recognizing fibronectin-, fibrinogen-, collagen-, and heparin-related polysaccharides are discussed in terms of structural organization, ligand-binding structures, importance in host tissue colonization and invasion, and role as virulence factors.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Some bacterial adhesins that interact with extracellular matrix molecules of their host have been classified as microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs).

    “Some bacterial adhesins, for example surface proteins that interact with extracellular matrix molecules of their host (fibronectin, collagen, laminin, fibrinogen or others), have been classified as microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules (MSCRAMMs); full reviews of MSCRAMMs have been published elsewhere [4].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
