Bacterial fimbriae in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infection
Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 1998Escherichia coli is the most frequent cause of pyelonephritis. A possible virulence factor includes the ability to adhere to and colonize the urinary tract which is an important initiating factor in all urinary tract infections. The importance of P-fimbriae and type 1 fimbriae in this adhesion and inflammatory process are emphasized and evidence for ...

Hydrogels of engineered bacterial fimbriae can finely tune 2D human cell culture
Biomaterials Science, 2021Hydrogels prepared from a bacterial fimbriae are utilized for the 2D cell culture of human dermal fibroblasts. The tunable biochemical and mechanical nature of Caf1 hydrogels allow the modulation of cell morphology and matrix deposition.

We have explored a possible association between Escherichia coli binding to human lymphocytes and plasmid coded fimbriae on the bacterial surface. E.coli with or without the plasmid coded fimbriae CFA(I), K99 and K88 were mixed with freshly‐drawn human peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Structure and Cell Membrane-Binding Properties of Bacterial Fimbriae
1980It has been thirty years since bacteria were recognized to sometimes possess proteinaceous, non-flagellar surface appendages that radiate outwards in a fairly rigid, filamentous fashion (Houwink and van Iterson, 1950). At the same time, it was first suggested that they function as organs of attachment.

The surface polymers of bacteria determine the ability of bacteria to adhere to a substrate for colonization, which is an essential step for a variety of microbial processes, such as biofilm formation and biofouling. Capsular polysaccharides and fimbriae are two major components on a bacterial surface, which are critical for mediating cell-surface ...

Rabbit polyclonal antibody (Poly‐1) and mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) TO‐11, TO‐14 and TO‐M1 specific for Porphyromonas gingivalis 381 fimbriae were prepared. Poly‐1 and the 3 mAbs were screened for their reactivity with whole cells of oral and nonoral black‐pigmented bacterial species by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the binding ...

THE involvement of bacterial fimbriae (pili) in some cases of phage infection and in bacterial conjugation has been known or presumed for some years1. Studies in our laboratories show that fimbriae are also associated with genetic transformation in several bacterial species.

AbstractAdhesion is a prerequisite for bacteria to colonize cell surfaces. To accomplish cellular adhesion, many bacteria use carbohydrate‐specific lectins, which are expressed as part of capillary protein appendages expanding from their surface, called fimbriae or pili.

[Effect of P fimbriae on pyuria and bacterial colonization of the human urinary tract].
Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2003This study investigated the role of P fimbriae in colonization of Escherichia coli, host response, and bacterial persistence in humans. Human volunteers were inoculated intravesically with the nonadherent ABU isolate E. coli 83972 and with P fimbriated transformants of the same strain.

This investigation was conducted to determine if Pasteurella haemolytica within feedlot cattle affected by pneumonic pasteurellosis express fimbriae (pili) and bacterial glycocalyx. Bacteriological culture of pulmonary tissue from three calves with fibrinous pneumonia resulted in heavy growth of P. haemolytica.
