Complement-mediated killing of bacteria by mechanical destabilization of the cell envelope

G. Benn, C. Bortolini, D. M. Roberts, A. L. B. Pyne, S. Holden, B. W. Hoogenboom

The paper uses atomic force microscopy to study how MAC pores in E. coli lead to mechanical destabilization of the cell envelope, causing lysis through inner membrane permeation.

Bacterial killing by complement requires direct anchoring of Membrane Attack Complex precursor C5b-7

D. J. Doorduijn, B. W. Bardoel, D. A. Heesterbeek, M. Ruyken, G. Benn, E. S. Parsons, B. Hoogenboom, S. H. Rooijakkers

This study shows that direct anchoring of C5b-7 is essential for MAC pore formation and bacterial killing, and bacteria can evade this by interfering with anchoring.

Imaging live bacteria at the nanoscale: comparison of immobilisation strategies

G. Benn, A. Pyne, M. Ryadnov, B. Hoogenboom

The paper compares immobilisation strategies for live Escherichia coli using AFM and fluorescence microscopy to assess adsorption, viability, and compatibility with imaging.
