Silver nanoparticles embedded in zeolite membranes: release of silver ions and mechanism of antibacterial action.
Amber Nagy,Alistair Harrison,Supriya Sabbani,Robert S. Munson,Prabir K. Dutta,W. James Waldman +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that AgNP-ZM provide a novel matrix for gradual release of Ag+ and are proposed to be related to the exhaustion of antioxidant capacity.
Genomic sequence of an otitis media isolate of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae: comparative study with H. influenzae serotype d, strain KW20.
Alistair Harrison,David W. Dyer,Allison F. Gillaspy,William C. Ray,Rachna Mungur,Matthew B. Carson,Huachun Zhong,Jenny Gipson,M. Gipson,Linda S. Johnson,Lisa A. Lewis,Lauren O. Bakaletz,Robert S. Munson +12 more
TL;DR: The genome of a representative nontypeable H. influenzae strain, 86-028NP, isolated from a patient with chronic otitis media was sequenced and annotated, and new insight is provided that complements and extends the ongoing analysis of nontypeables H. Influenzae virulence determinants.

Acinetobacter baumannii Strain M2 Produces Type IV Pili Which Play a Role in Natural Transformation and Twitching Motility but Not Surface-Associated Motility
Christian M. Harding,Christian M. Harding,Erin N. Tracy,Michael D. Carruthers,Michael D. Carruthers,Philip N. Rather,Luis A. Actis,Robert S. Munson,Robert S. Munson +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that A. baumannii strain M2 is naturally transformable and capable of twitching motility, two classical TFP-associated phenotypes, and that surface-associated motility was not dependent on the products of the pilA, pilD, and pilT genes and, by correlation, TFP.

The PilA protein of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae plays a role in biofilm formation, adherence to epithelial cells and colonization of the mammalian upper respiratory tract.
Joseph A. Jurcisek,James E. Bookwalter,Beth Baker,Soledad Fernandez,Laura A. Novotny,Robert S. Munson,Lauren O. Bakaletz +6 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that NTHI express PilA in vivo, and that PilA plays an important role in the pathogenesis of an upper respiratory tract infection induced by NTHi, both in vitro and in vivo.

Haemophilus influenzae type b strain A2 has multiple sialyltransferases involved in lipooligosaccharide sialylation.
Paul A. Jones,Nicole M. Samuels,Nancy J. Phillips,Robert S. Munson,Joel A. Bozue,Julie A. Arseneau,Wade A. Nichols,Anthony Zaleski,Bradford W. Gibson,Bradford W. Gibson,Michael A. Apicella +10 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate that the sialylation of the LOS of H. influenzae is a complex process involving multiple sIALyltransferases.
