The dual role of cAMP receptor protein (CRP) in regulating type 3 fimbriae expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43S3 in response to oxygen availability [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground In Asian countries, Klebsiella pneumoniae is the predominant pathogen isolated from liver abscesses in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Elevated glucose level in DM patients causes various immune problems and may enhance 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

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.

Role of Fimbriae, Flagella and Cellulose on the Attachment of Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028 to Plant Cell Wall Models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cases of foodborne disease caused by Salmonella are frequently associated with the consumption of minimally processed produce. Bacterial cell surface components are known to be important for the attachment of bacterial pathogens to fresh produce.
