Genotypes and associated traits in Salmonella enterica Newport strains linked to fresh produce-associated outbreaks in the United States [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologySalmonella enterica is a leading cause of bacterial infection in humans and animals. Newport is among the most prevalent serotypes linked to fresh produce-associated salmonellosis outbreaks in the United States and among the top serotypes that cause ...

Chemical inhibition of MrkH-dependent activation of type 3 fimbriae synthesis and biofilm formation by Klebsiella pneumoniae [PDF]
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesBiofilm formation by Klebsiella pneumoniae is mediated by the type 3 fimbriae Mrk, and regulated by MrkH and 3’,5’-cyclic diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP). We sought to identify specific chemical inhibitors of K.

Type1 and 3 fimbriae phenotype and genotype as suitable markers for uropathogenic bacterial pathogenesis via attachment, cell surface hydrophobicity, and biofilm formation in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021 Objective(s): Catheters are one of the factors for complicated urinary tract infections. Uropathogenic bacteria can attach to the catheter via cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH), form biofilms, and remain in urinary tract.

Aggregative adherence fimbriae form compact structures as seen by SAXS
Scientific Reports, 2023 Bacterial colonization is mediated by fimbriae, which are thin hair-like appendages dispersed from the bacterial surface. The aggregative adherence fimbriae from enteroaggregative E. coli are secreted through the outer membrane and consist of polymerized

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]
, 2020 Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

Mechanics of biofilms formed of bacteria with fimbriae appendages.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some Gram-positive bacteria, possess hair-like appendages known as fimbriae, which play an important role in adhesion of the bacteria to surfaces or to other bacteria.
