Sentence examples for intimate adhesion from inspiring English sources

The Opa proteins have different binding affinities to heparan sulphate and CD66-family proteins and are able to cause intimate adhesion between meningococci and several cell types, as well as influencing binding of capsulate bacteria [54] [60].

This process results in the formation of "attaching and effacing" (A/E) lesions on intestinal epithelia, which are characterized by the intimate adhesion of bacteria to actin-rich pedestals and a localized destruction of microvilli.

In the absence of intimin and Tir EPEC looses its intimate adhesion and actin pedestal formation capabilities, while the lack of EspF and Map diminishes major cytopathic effects due to disruption of the mitochondria and activation of Rho GTPases [14], [34].

The lesions are characterized by localized destruction of brush border microvilli and intimate adhesion of the bacterium to the host cell membrane.

The first effector that is translocated by the T3SS of these pathogens is the translocated intimin receptor (Tir), which inserts in the plasma membrane of the enterocyte and exposes an extracellular domain that is specifically recognized by the OM protein intimin, causing an intimate adhesion of the extracellular bacterium to the host cell plasma membrane.

EHEC O157∶H7 virulence factors include phage-encoded Shiga toxins and intimate bacterial adhesion, described as attaching-effacing lesions [3].

Since, in E. coli, the secreted Tir and intimin proteins encoded in LEE function in adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells [ 43, 49- 51], Et-LEE may also play a role in the intimate attachment of the pathogen to fish intestinal cell.

Adhesive pili can mediate the initial contact to host cell receptors, with cell-wall-linked pilins supporting the formation of an intimate zone of adhesion.

7 Mechanical overloading caused buckling of the structures and subsequent loss of intimate contact, which resulted in adhesion loss when a threshold compressive load was applied.

Two new reagents were synthesized: 3,5-dihydroxyphenyl-4-azidobenzoate (7) and 4,4′-ethylene-1,1′-diphenyl 4,4′-ethylene-1,1′-diphenyl 4,4′-ethylene-1,1′-diphenyl 4,4′-ethylene-1,1′-diphenyllibond PU39), to enhazidethe adhesion of Salz leather surfaces.

Below the PPg melting temperature, there is no significant adhesion due to the absence of intimate contact between the adherends.
