Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of pertussis or whooping cough, a serious disease of the respiratory tract. B. pertussis strains produce two serologically distinct fimbriae that were first identified as agglutinogens, i.e., antigens that induce the production of antibodies that agglutinate the bacteria.

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on Cyanobacterial Fimbriae. Fimbriae are stiff, tubular filaments of uniform thickness that rise from the bacterial cell surface. They are usually 1-2 μm in length and 5-7 nm in diameter and comprise hundreds of identical subunits, fimbrillins, helically arranged along the filament. Fimbrillins are type specific,

Asiatic cholera is an acute and often fatal diarrheal disease afflicting humans infected with the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Although toxin production is directly responsible for the manifestation of diarrhea, cholera pathogenesis relies on numerous elements acting synergistically to promote vimlence.

Trends in Microbiology, 2000
Bacterial pathogens are capable of colonizing host organisms partly as a result of their ability to adhere to host cell surfaces. This adherence is often mediated by non-flagellar filamentous surface appendages known as fimbriae. In Salmonella, several different fimbrial systems that mediate bacterial attachment to host epithelial surfaces have been ...
