Changes in potential pathogenicity-associated proteins of Helicobacter cinaedi upon infection of macrophage cells by A. K. Voronina, B. A. Efimov, B. A. Efimov, M. V. Malakhova, P. V. Shnaider, O. M. Ivanova, M. Bogomiakova, V. O. Shender, V. O. Shender, M. A. Lagarkova, G. P. Arapidi, G. P. Arapidi, G. P. Arapidi

“…Beyond known virulence factors (HcaA, Cdt, AhpC), we identified poorly characterized proteins with toxic or immunomodulatory functions. Notably, some upregulated proteins enable cholesterol utilization as a carbon source, while others may participate in a toxin injection mechanism disrupting host cell metabolism—potentially linked to foam cell formation.ConclusionOur findings provide new insights into H. cinaedi pathogenicity, highlighting previously unexplored virulence mechanisms. …”
