Curli functional amyloid systems are phylogenetically widespread and display large diversity in operon and protein structure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Escherichia coli and a few other members of the Enterobacteriales can produce functional amyloids known as curli. These extracellular fibrils are involved in biofilm formation and studies have shown that they may act as virulence factors during ...

The Congo red derivative FSB binds to curli amyloid fibers and specifically stains curliated E. coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The Congo red derivative (E,E)-1-fluoro-2,5-bis(3-hydroxycarbonyl-4-hydroxy) styrylbenzene (FSB) specifically stains the functional amyloid curli in Escherichia coli biofilms.

Microbiome or Infections: Amyloid-Containing Biofilms as a Trigger for Complex Human Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The human microbiota is the community of microorganisms that live upon or within their human host. The microbiota consists of various microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea; the gut microbiota is comprised mostly of bacteria. Many

Bacterial amyloid curli acts as a carrier for DNA to elicit an autoimmune response via TLR2 and TLR9. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Bacterial biofilms are associated with numerous human infections. The predominant protein expressed in enteric biofilms is the amyloid curli, which forms highly immunogenic complexes with DNA. Infection with curli-expressing bacteria or systemic exposure

The Improved CURLI Method for Multi-Criteria Decision Making
Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research, 2023 Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) investigates the best available choice in the presence of multiple conflicting criteria, whereas the Collaborative Unbiased Rank List Integration (CURLI) method has been proposed recently and has been applied in ...

Microarray-based screening of differentially expressed genes of E. coli O157:H7 Sakai during preharvest survival on butterhead lettuce [PDF]
, 2016 Numerous outbreaks of Escherichia coli O157:H7 have been linked to the consumption of leafy vegetables. However, up to the present, little has been known about E.

Microorganisms, 2020 Escherichia coli O157:H7 (O157) is noninvasive and a weak biofilm producer; however, a subset of O157 are exceptions. O157 ATCC 43895 forms biofilms and invades epithelial cells. Tn5 mutagenesis identified a mutation responsible for both phenotypes.
