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 ...

Regulation of poly-GlcNAc expression and fimbriation in uropathogenic "E. coli" [PDF]

, 2013
The transition of planktonic to sessile lifestyles in bacteria rests upon a tightly controlled program that gets triggered by the environmental composition and whose implementation requires multiple feedback controls. Uropathogenic E.

Application of MLST and Pilus gene sequence comparisons to investigate the population structures of Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces oris [PDF]

, 2011
Actinomyces naeslundii and Actinomyces oris are members of the oral biofilm. Their identification using 16S rRNA sequencing is problematic and better achieved by comparison of metG partial sequences. A.

Bacterial-epithelial contact is a key determinant of host innate immune responses to enteropathogenic and enteroaggregative escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Enteroaggregative (EAEC) E. coli have similar, but distinct clinical symptoms and modes of pathogenesis. Nevertheless when they infect the gastrointestinal tract, it is thought that their flagellin causes IL-8 ...

A multivalent vaccine candidate targeting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli fimbriae for broadly protecting against porcine post-weaning diarrhea

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

Role of yqiC in the pathogenicity of Salmonella and innate immune responses of human intestinal epithelium

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The yqiC gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) regulates bacterial growth at different temperatures and mice survival after infection. However, the role of yqiC in bacterial colonization and host immunity remains unknown.

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 ...

Antimicrobial surfaces based on self-assembled nanoreactors : from block copolymer synthesis to bacterial adhesion study [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of this work is to develop a new strategy for the prevention of biofilm growth. For this purpose, we prepared bioactive surfaces resulting from the surface-immobilization of nanoreactors self-assembled from amphiphilic poly(isobutylene)-block ...

Fimbriae assisted bacterial surface display of heterologous peptides

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2000
The display of peptide segments on the surface of bacteria offers many new and exciting applications in biotechnology and medical research. Fimbria-assisted display of heterologous sequences is a paradigm for chimeric organelle display on bacteria. Fimbriae are particularly attractive candidates for epitope display for several reasons: (1) they are ...

Type 3 Fimbriae Encoded on Plasmids Are Expressed from a Unique Promoter without Affecting Host Motility, Facilitating an Exceptional Phenotype That Enhances Conjugal Plasmid Transfer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the transmission of genetic material to a recipient that is not the progeny of the donor, is fundamental in bacterial evolution.
