Fimbria-mediated bacterial adhesion to human oral epithelium [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001 Oral mucosa biopsies and saliva samples from 12 individuals were processed for transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopy with and without ruthenium red staining. Additionally performed microbiological estimations indicated in all bacteriological samples a facultative pathogenic flora. SEM and TEM investigation showed a diverse bacterial

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.

Molecules, 2022 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common pathogenic bacteria associated with urinary tract infection (UTI). UPEC can cause UTI by adhering to and invading uroepithelial cells. Fimbriae is the most important virulence factor of UPEC, and a

Role of overexpressed CFA/I fimbriae in bacterial swimming [PDF]
Physical Biology, 2012 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli CFA/I is a protective antigen and has been overexpressed in bacterial vectors, such as Salmonella Typhimurium H683, to generate vaccines. Effects that overexpressed CFA/I may engender on the bacterial host remain largely unexplored. To investigate, we constructed a high CFA/I expression strain, H683-pC2, and compared it

Diversity in Genetic Regulation of Bacterial Fimbriae Assembled by the Chaperone Usher Pathway
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Bacteria express different types of hair-like proteinaceous appendages on their cell surface known as pili or fimbriae. These filamentous structures are primarily involved in the adherence of bacteria to both abiotic and biotic surfaces for biofilm formation and/or virulence of non-pathogenic and pathogenic bacteria.

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli P and Type 1 fimbriae act in synergy in a living host to facilitate renal colonization leading to nephron obstruction. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 The progression of a natural bacterial infection is a dynamic process influenced by the physiological characteristics of the target organ. Recent developments in live animal imaging allow for the study of the dynamic microbe-host interplay in real-time ...

Veterinary Research, 2020 Fimbriae-mediated initial adherence is the initial and critical step required for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection. Therefore, vaccine candidates have been developed that target these fimbriae and induce specific anti-fimbriae antibodies
