XatA, an AT-1 autotransporter important for the virulence of Xylella fastidiosa Temecula1. [PDF]
, 2012 Xylella fastidiosa Temecula1 is the causative agent of Pierce's disease of grapevine, which is spread by xylem-feeding insects. An important feature of the infection cycle is the ability of X.

Highly conserved type 1 pili promote enterotoxigenic E. coli pathogen-host interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), defined by their elaboration of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins, are a common cause of diarrheal illness in developing countries.

Interactions of pathogenic Escherichia coli with CEACAMs
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The pathogenic Escherichia coli can be parsed into specific variants (pathovars) depending on their phenotypic behavior and/or expression of specific virulence factors.

Comparative proteomics of uropathogenic Escherichia coli during growth in human urine identify UCA-like (UCL) fimbriae as an adherence factor involved in biofilm formation and binding to uroepithelial cells [PDF]
, 2015 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in humans. For the successful colonisation of the human urinary tract, UPEC employ a diverse collection of secreted or surface-exposed virulence factors ...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli - an overview
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is an important cause of traveler's diarrhea and diarrheal illnesses in children in the developing world. In this presentation we will focus on the main virulence attributes of this pathogenic category of E.

Molecular Characterization of theEscherichia coliFimH Adhesin [PDF]
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001 Bacterial adherence mediated by fimbriae is an essential prerequisite for colonization of the urinary tract. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli express a number of different adhesive organelles, including P, type 1, S, and F1C fimbriae [1]. Type 1, or mannose-sensitive, fimbriae are produced by >80% of all uropathogenic E. coli.
