    • Enterococcus faecium produces membrane vesicles containing virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance related proteins 

      Wagner, Theresa; Joshi, Bishnu; James Peter, Jessin Janice; Askarian, Fatemeh; Skalko-Basnet, Natasa; Hagestad, Ole Christian; Mekhlif, Ahmed; Wai, Sun Nyunt; Hegstad, Kristin; Johannessen, Mona (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-30)
      <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> is a commensal but also a bacteremia causing pathogen, which is inherently resistant to several antimicrobials and has a great ability to acquire new traits. Bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) are increasingly recognized as a mode of cell-free communication and a way to deliver virulence factors and/or antimicrobial resistance determinants. These features make MVs interesting ...

    • Flagella-mediated secretion of a novel Vibrio cholerae cytotoxin affecting both vertebrate and invertebrate hosts 

      Dongre, Mitesh; Singh, Bhupender; Aung, Kyaw Min; Larsson, Per; Miftakhova, Regina; Persson, Karina; Askarian, Fatemeh; Johannessen, Mona; Hofsten, Jonas von; Persson, Jenny L.; Erhardt, Marc; Tuck, Simon; Uhlin, Bernt Eric; Wai, Sun Nyunt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-07)
      Using <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> as an infection host model for <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> predator interactions, we discovered a bacterial cytotoxin, MakA, whose function as a virulence factor relies on secretion via the flagellum channel in a proton motive force-dependent manner. The MakA protein is expressed from the polycistronic <i>makDCBA</i> (<i>m</i>otility-<i>a</i>ssociated <i>k</i>illing ...

    • Transcriptome profiling of staphylococcus aureus associated extracellular vesicles reveals presence of small RNA-cargo 

      Joshi, Bishnu; Singh, Bhupender; Nadeem, Aftab; Askarian, Fatemeh; Wai, Sun Nyunt; Johannessen, Mona; Hegstad, Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-13)
      Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) have a vital role in bacterial pathogenesis. However, to date, the small RNA-cargo of EVs released by the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus has not been characterized. Here, we shed light on the association of small RNAs with EVs secreted by S. aureus MSSA476 cultured in iron-depleted bacteriologic media supplemented with a subinhibitory dosage of ...
