Type1 and 3 fimbriae phenotype and genotype as suitable markers for uropathogenic bacterial pathogenesis via attachment, cell surface hydrophobicity, and biofilm formation in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2021 Objective(s): Catheters are one of the factors for complicated urinary tract infections. Uropathogenic bacteria can attach to the catheter via cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH), form biofilms, and remain in urinary tract.

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

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.

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
