Structure and Cell Membrane-Binding Properties of Bacterial Fimbriae

1980
It 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.

Distribution and immunochemical specificities of fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis and related bacterial species

Oral Microbiology and Immunology, 1991
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 ...

Competence of Genetic Transformation correlated with the Occurrence of Fimbriae in Three Bacterial Species

Nature New Biology, 1971
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.

The Bacterial Lectin FimH, a Target for Drug Discovery – Carbohydrate Inhibitors of Type 1 Fimbriae‐Mediated Bacterial Adhesion

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011
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, 2003
This 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.

Presence of bacterial glycocalyx and fimbriae on Pasteurella haemolytica in feedlot cattle with pneumonic pasteurellosis.

Canadian journal of veterinary research = Revue canadienne de recherche veterinaire, 1989
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.

Bacterial adhesins as a drug carrier: covalent attachment of K99 fimbriae to 6-methylprednisolone.

Die Pharmazie, 1997
A bioadhesive drug delivery system based on the covalent attachment of a therapeutic agent to bacterial fimbriae is described. This approach involves the isolation of the fimbrium K99 as well as the covalent coupling of 6-methylprednisolone to this adhesin via a linker, especially designed to be cleaved by unspecific luminal esterases.
