Journal Article
Abouseada, N. M., Assafi, M. S. A., Mahdavi, J., Oldfield, N. J., Wheldon, L. M., Wooldridge, K. G., & Ala'Aldeen, D. A. (2012). Mapping the laminin receptor binding domains of Neisseria meningitidis PorA and Haemophilus influenzae OmpP2. PLoS ONE, 7(9), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0046233

Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae are major bacterial agents of meningitis. They each bind the 37/67-kDa laminin receptor (LamR) via the surface protein adhesins: meningococcal PilQ and PorA, H. influenzae Om...

Cj1136 is required for lipooligosaccharide biosynthesis, hyperinvasion, and chick colonization by Campylobacter jejuni (2012)
Journal Article
Javed, M. A., Cawthraw, S. A., Baig, A., Li, J., McNally, A., Oldfield, N. J., …Manning, G. (2012). Cj1136 is required for lipooligosaccharide biosynthesis, hyperinvasion, and chick colonization by Campylobacter jejuni. Infection and Immunity, 80(7), 2361-2370. https://doi.org/10.1128/IAI.00151-12

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of bacterial food-borne enteritis worldwide, and invasion into intestinal epithelial cells is an important virulence mechanism. Recently we reported the identification of hyperinvasive C. jejuni strains and creat...
