Asialo-GM1 and asialo-GM2 are putative adhesion molecules for Moraxella catarrhalis
(Springer-Verlag, 2002)Moraxella catarrhalis is an important pathogen of respiratory and middle ear infections. We previously reported that the attachment of M. catarrhalis to pharyngeal epithelial cells is mediated by ganglioside M2 (GM2). ... -
Evidence for a novel bacteriophage from moraxella catarrhalis
(Bilkent University, 2005)Moraxella catarrhalis is one of the major causes of RTI and otitis media, which was known as a harmless inhabitant of upper respiratory tract until 1980s. The knowledge on virulence factors, pathogenesis of this bacterium ... -
Isolation and characterization of an adhesin protein from the surface of a respiratory pathogen Moraxella catarrhalis
(Bilkent University, 2002)Moraxella catarrhalis is a member of the normal flora of upper respiratory tract. Starting in the early 1980s it gained importance as an important cause of otitis media in children and lower respiratory tract infections ... -
Molecular characterization of the ATPase component of a putative ABC type transporter in moraxella catarrhalis
(Bilkent University, 2004)Moraxella catarrhalis is one of the major causes of respiratory tract and middle ear infections. Little is known about the pathogenesis of M. catarrhalis infection. A pathogenic bacterium requires adherence, invasion, ... -
Role of lipooligosaccharide in the attachment of Moraxella catarrhalis to human pharyngeal epithelial cells
(Wiley, 2005)The goal of this study was to determine the role of lipooligosaccharide in the attachment of Moraxella catarrhalis to human pharyngeal epithelial cells. Strain 2951 and its Pk mutant strain 2951 galE were used in this ... -
Sulfatide and its synthetic analogues recognition by Moraxella catarrhalis
(Springer, 2006)Moraxella catarrhalis is one of the major pathogens of respiratory and middle ear infections. Attachment of this bacterium to the surface of human pharyngeal epithelial cells is the first step in the pathogenesis of ...
