Influence of the polysaccharide capsule on virulence and fitness of Klebsiella pneumoniae by Lisa Zierke, Rodi Mourad, Thomas P. Kohler, Mathias Müsken, Sven Hammerschmidt

“…The CPS is therefore crucial for both escaping detection by the immune system and enhancing the virulence potential.MethodsIn this study, we generated a non-encapsulated mutant (Kpn2146∆wza) to observe how the CPS interferes with K. pneumoniae adhesion, survival in blood, and invasiveness in an experimental infection model.ResultsInfection of A549 lung epithelial cells showed similar adherence levels for the wild-type and non-capsulated strain, while our data showed a moderately higher internalization of Kpn2146Δwza when compared to the wild-type. …”

Genetic basis of depressive disorders by Yu. D. Davydova, R. F. Enikeeva, A. V. Kazantseva, R. N. Mustafin, A. R. Romanova, S. B. Malykh, E. K. Khusnutdinov

“…The results of the second approach (GWAS and WES) revealed that the PCLO, SIRT1, GNL3, GLT8D1, ITIH3, MTNR1A, BMP5, FHIT, KSR2, PCDH9, and AUTS2 genes predominantly responsible for neurogenesis and cell adhesion are involved in liability to depression. Therefore, the findings discussed suggest that genetic liability to DD is a complex process, which assumes simultaneous functioning of multiple genes including those reported previously, and requires future research in this field.…”
