The opsonic requirement for phagocytosis and killing and cell-surface hydrophobicity of five strains of Staphylococcus saprophyticus isolated from clinical sources were studied. Phagocytosis and killing of bacteria by human granulocytes were measured in suspension. Bacterial aggregating cell-surface hydrophobicity was determined by salt aggregation, and the absorptive hydrophobicity was measured by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. All strains were well opsonised by pooled normal human…

Anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa IgY Antibodies Induce Specific Bacterial Aggregation and Internalization in Human Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils
TLDR
Avian egg yolk immunoglobulins (IgY) targeting P. aeruginosa modify bacterial fitness, which enhances bacterial killing by PMN-mediated phagocytosis and thereby may facilitate a rapid bacterial clearance in airways of people with cystic fibrosis.
Bacterial Cell-Surface Hydrophobicity
TLDR
Studies are presented on hydrophobicities of staphylococcal cells of different species in connection with slime production and growth in serum-soft agar and a correlation between hydrophobicity and phagocytosis is supported.
Protective Efficacy of the OprF/OprI/PcrV Recombinant Chimeric Protein Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the Burned BALB/c Mouse Model
TLDR
The findings of this study revealed that the chimeric protein is a promising vaccine candidate for control of the P. aeruginosa infection.
Feeding selection of heterotrophic marine nanoflagellates based on the surface hydrophobicity of their picoplankton prey
TLDR
The rate at which picoplankton cells are cleared from suspension by nanoflagellates could vary by as much as twofold due solely to natural variation in cell surface hydrophobicity.
The potential importance of grazing-resistant bacteria in planktonic systems
TLDR
How GRB can be included in conceptual models of the interactions among metazooplankton, bacterivorous protozoans and bacteria is described and it is suggested that the relative importance of GRB increases with increasing grazing pressure exerted by protozans, whereas it decreases with increasing top-down control of protozoan by metazozoan.

The interaction of staphylococci grown in vivo and in vitro with polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
TLDR
It is suggested that the virulence difference between strains P and O depends on the properties of the phenotypic form that each assumes in vivo, in agreement with earlier observations on the resistance of these strains to the bactericidins of polymorph lysates.
Coagulase-negative staphylococcal adherence and persistence.
TLDR
Staphylococcus epidermidis is the coagulase-negative species most frequently recovered from clinical specimens, although ^0 species of coagulate-negative staphylitis have been identified.

Selective Binding of Blood Group-Reactive Salivary Mucins by Streptococcus mutans and Other Oral Organisms
TLDR
The ability of bacteria to selectively bind blood group-reactive (BGR) mucin isolated from whole human saliva suggest that they may serve as receptor molecules involved in the attachment ofacteria to teeth.
Detection and characterization of colonization factor of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from adults with diarrhea
TLDR
Observations suggest that the H-10407-type CFA plays a role in the virulence of ETEC possessing this antigen, which was isolated from 29 adults with diarrhea acquired in Mexico.

TLDR
Cocci coated with IgG, IgA and IgM occurred in 21, 20 and 9 of 28 urine specimens, respectively, containing Staphylococcus saprophyticus, causing a significant correlation between non-haemagglutinating specimens and the occurrence of antibody-coated bacteria in these specimens.
Differences in hydrophobic surface characteristics of porcine enteropathogenic Escherichia coli with or without K88 antigen as revealed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography
TLDR
Evidence is provided for the suspected role of hydrophobic interaction in the adhesive properties of certain enteropathogenic strains of E. coli and provides convenient and rapid alternative means of screening strains for a property potentially associated with adhesiveness.

TLDR
Cure was highly associated with removal of the colonized shunt--38% of infected patients treated with antimicrobial therapy alone were cured, and all treated withAntimicrobial therapy and total shunt replacement were cured.
