BIOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI PILI ISOLATED FROM CASES OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION IN HORSES [PDF]
Veterinary Medical Journal - Giza, 2002 The bacteriological examination of 126 urine samples from horses with urinary tract infection revealed the isolation of E. coli from 76 cases (60.3%); Streptococcus spp. 14 cases (11.1%); Klebsiella spp. 12 cases (9.5%); Proteus spp.

Electromicrobiology: Electron Transfer via Biowires in Nature and Practical Applications
BIO Web of Conferences, 2016 One of the most exciting developments in the field of electromicrobiology has been the discovery of electrically conductive pili (e-pili) in Geobacter species that transport electrons with a metallic-like mechanism.

Highly conserved type 1 pili promote enterotoxigenic E. coli pathogen-host interactions. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 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.

Functional studies of E. faecalis RNase J2 and its role in virulence and fitness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Post-transcriptional control provides bacterial pathogens a method by which they can rapidly adapt to environmental change. Dual exo- and endonucleolytic activities of RNase J enzymes contribute to Gram-positive RNA processing and decay. First discovered

Structure of CfaA suggests a new family of chaperones essential for assembly of class 5 fimbriae. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Adhesive pili on the surface of pathogenic bacteria comprise polymerized pilin subunits and are essential for initiation of infections. Pili assembled by the chaperone-usher pathway (CUP) require periplasmic chaperones that assist subunit folding ...

The influence of pH on the specific adhesion of P piliated Escherichia coli. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Adhesion to host tissues is an initiating step in a majority of bacterial infections. In the case of Gram-negative bacteria this adhesion is often mediated by a specific interaction between an adhesin, positioned at the distal end of bacterial pili, and ...
