P-fimbriae, bacterial adhesion, and pyelonephritis. [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1984 L'aptitude des agents pathogenes a adherer aux membranes muqueuses est maintenant reconnue comme un facteur potentiel de virulence; elle est souvent en rapport avec la presence de filaments proteiniques capables de reconnaitre des recepteurs, souvent glucidiques sur les membranes des cellules epitheliales.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Biofilm formation by Klebsiella pneumoniae on indwelling medical devices increases the risk of infection. Both type 1 and type 3 fimbriae are important factors in biofilm formation by K. pneumoniae. We found that a putative enzyme II (EII) complex of the

Chaperone-tip adhesin complex is vital for synergistic activation of CFA/I fimbriae biogenesis.
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Colonization factor CFA/I defines the major adhesive fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and mediates bacterial attachment to host intestinal epithelial cells.

Biology, 2013 Adhesion of bacteria to the glycosylated surface of their target cells is typically mediated by fimbrial lectins, exposed on the bacterial surface. Among the best-investigated and most important fimbriae are type 1 fimbriae, for which α-d-mannopyranoside-

Uncoiling mechanics of Escherichia coli type I fimbriae are optimized for catch bonds. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 We determined whether the molecular structures through which force is applied to receptor-ligand pairs are tuned to optimize cell adhesion under flow. The adhesive tethers of our model system, Escherichia coli, are type I fimbriae, which are anchored to ...

Expression of the short fimbriae ofPorphyromonas gingivalisis regulated in oral bacterial consortia [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2006 The Mfa1 protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis is the structural subunit of the short fimbriae and mediates coadhesion between P. gingivalis and Streptococcus gordonii. We utilized a promoter-lacZ reporter construct to examine the regulation of mfa1 expression in consortia with common oral plaque bacteria.

mSphereFimbriae are essential virulence factors for many bacterial pathogens. Fimbriae are extracellular structures that attach bacteria to surfaces. Thus, fimbriae mediate a critical step required for any pathogen to establish infection by anchoring a ...

mBio, 2017 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium genome encodes 13 fimbrial operons. Most of the fimbriae encoded by these operons are not produced under laboratory conditions but are likely to be synthesized in vivo.

Bacterial cyclic AMP-phosphodiesterase activity coordinates biofilm formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Biofilm-related infections are a major contributor to human disease, and the capacity for surface attachment and biofilm formation are key attributes for the pathogenesis of microbes. Serratia marcescens type I fimbriae-dependent biofilms are coordinated
