Aggregative adherence fimbriae form compact structures as seen by SAXS
Scientific Reports, 2023 Bacterial colonization is mediated by fimbriae, which are thin hair-like appendages dispersed from the bacterial surface. The aggregative adherence fimbriae from enteroaggregative E. coli are secreted through the outer membrane and consist of polymerized

The polymer and materials science of the bacterial fimbriae Caf1
Biomaterials Science, 2023 Progress in revealing the rich polymer and materials science of Capsular antigen fragment 1 (Caf1), a bacterial fimbriae expressed by the bacterium Yersina pestis, is described.

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]
, 2020 Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

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

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.

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 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.

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 ...

Bacterial Fimbriae Stimulate Proinflammatory Activation in the Endothelium through Distinct TLRs [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2008 Abstract The major and minor fimbriae proteins produced by the human pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are required for invasion of human aortic endothelial cells and for the stimulation of potent inflammatory responses. In this study, we report that native forms of both the major and minor fimbriae proteins bind to and signal through ...
