Streptococcus agalactiae GAPDH Is a Virulence-Associated Immunomodulatory Protein (2007)
Pedro Madureira, Marina Baptista, Marta Vieira, Vanessa Magalhaes, Ana Camelo, Liliana Oliveira, ...
Certain extracellular proteins produced by several pathogenic microorganisms interfere with the host immune system facilitating microbial colonization and were thus designated virulence-associated...

Staphylococcus epidermidis is now well established as a major nosocomial pathogen associated with infections of indwelling medical devices. The major virulence factor of these organisms is their...
Cerca, Filipe, Teixeira, Luzia, Cerca, Nuno, Madureira, Pedro, Ribeiro, Adília, Azeredo, Joana, ...
In this study a biofilm-forming strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis was used in order to evaluate, in a murine model, the immune response to bacteria grown either as planktonic cells or biofilm....
Dourado, Fernando, Madureira, Pedro, Carvalho, Vera, Coelho, Ricardo, Coimbra, Manuel A., Vilanova, Manuel, ...
The structure and bioactivity of a polysaccharide extracted and purified from a 4MKOH + H3BO3 solution from Prunus dulcis seed cell wall material was studied. Anion-exchange chromatography of the...
Influence of batch or fed-batch growth on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation (2004)
Cerca, Nuno, Pier, Gerald B., Vilanova, Manuel, Azeredo, Joana
Aims: To make a quantitative evaluation of the differences in biofilm formation by Staphylococcus epidermidis using batch and fed-batch growth systems and to correlate this with production of the...

Vilanova, Manuel, Teixeira, Luzia, Caramalho, Íris, Torrado, Egídio, Marques, Andreia, Madureira, Pedro, ...
Secreted aspartic proteinases (Sap) have been described as virulence factors implicated in the mechanisms of host colonization by the yeast Candida albicans in different types of candidiasis....
Exo and endo-glucanolytic activity of cellulases purified from Trichoderma reesei (1998)
Gama, F. M., Vilanova, Manuel, Mota, M.
Four cellulases, produced by Trichoderma reesei, have been purified by preparative isoelectric focusing (Rotofor), size exclusion (Sephacryl 100 HR), anionic (Mono Q) and cationic (Mono S)...
