As the true experts of our immune system, pathogenic bacteria produce enzymes that can modify the carbohydrates (glycans) of the defense mechanisms in order to favor bacterial survival and ...

Researchers have identified a new complex-carbohydrate biomolecule, or glycan, that plays a key role in the nasal ...

The pneumococcal enzyme SpGH101 cleaves core-1 O-linked glycans, and when knocked out, the bacteria show reduced adherence. The expression levels of a sialidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is ...

Discover the importance of antibiotics, bacterial cell walls, and resistance mechanisms in fighting bacterial infections effectively.

In order to use these amino sugar derivatives, bacteria have evolved a variety of metabolic operons that encode specific glycan transporters and enzymes. However, how bacteria synergize these ...

The QPS is being developed by the team's industrial partner, FluoretiQ Ltd. In order to correctly identify the bacteria, specific sugar molecules (glycans) will be attached to the surface of the FCDs ...
