Influence of Fimbriae on Bacterial Adhesion and Viscoelasticity and Correlations of the Two Properties with Biofilm Formation

open access: yesLangmuir, 2016
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 ...

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

open access: yesCanadian 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 fimbriae in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infection

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 1998
Escherichia 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 ...

A POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN CFA (I) FIMBRIAE AND K99 FIMBRIAE ON ESCHERICHIA COLI AND BACTERIAL ADHERENCE TO HUMAN LYMPHOCYTES

Acta Pathologica Microbiologica Scandinavica Section B Microbiology, 1980
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.

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.

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.

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.
