Terminology of Bacterial Fimbriae, or Pili, and their Types

Nature, 1967
THE nomenclature of the non-flagellar filamentous appendages of bacteria is in a confused state and the need for clarification is increased by a renewal of interest brought about by findings that suggest that some types of these structures may play a part in bacterial conjugation1–4.

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 ...

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.

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.

Bacterial fimbriae activate human peripheral blood monocytes utilizing TLR2, CD14 and CD11a/CD18 as cellular receptors

European Journal of Immunology, 2002
Bacterial fimbriae are associated with a specific adherence factor, adhesin, in their microbial etiology. Porphyromonas gingivalis, as an anaerobic Gram-negative periodontopathogenic organism, is known to possess fimbriae on its cell surfaces. In this study, we demonstrated that P.

Observation of fimbriae and flagella in dispersed subgingival dental plaque and fresh bacterial isolates from periodontal disease

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1983
The interbacterial matrix of subgingival plaque obtained from 12 individuals was examined by agar‐filtration negative stain electron microscopy. Flagellated bacteria were abundant in all samples from patients having periodontal disease. In addition, the plaques of all patients having periodontal disease, with the exception of two children diagnosed as ...
