The paper identifies marine sulfated glycans that inhibit Borrelia burgdorferi adhesins' binding to heparin/GAGs, with specific inhibitors showing varying potency against different adhesins.

This study identifies TprD and TprK as surface-exposed adhesins on Treponema pallidum that mediate cell adherence and are targets of opsonic antibodies promoting macrophage-mediated clearance.

The paper retrospectively analyzes Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates to show that corneal isolates have higher PrpL protease activity and pyocyanin production, which contribute to corneal tissue damage.
