Long Polar Fimbriae participates in the induction of neutrophils transepithelial migration across intestinal cells infected with enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strains are causative agents of diarrhea and hemorrhagic colitis, both diseases associated with intestinal inflammation and cell damage.

Synergy between type 1 fimbriae expression and C3 opsonisation increases internalisation of E. coli by human tubular epithelial cells

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Bacterial infection of the urinary tract is a common clinical problem with E. coli being the most common urinary pathogen. Bacterial uptake into epithelial cells is increasingly recognised as an important feature of infection.

Factors influencing initial bacterial adhesion to antifouling surfaces studied by single-cell force spectroscopy

iScience
Summary: Biofilm formation, a major concern for healthcare systems, is initiated when bacteria adhere to surfaces. Escherichia coli adhesion is mediated by appendages, including type-1 fimbriae and curli amyloid fibers.

Genotypes and associated traits in Salmonella enterica Newport strains linked to fresh produce-associated outbreaks in the United States

Frontiers in Microbiology
Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of bacterial infection in humans and animals. Newport is among the most prevalent serotypes linked to fresh produce-associated salmonellosis outbreaks in the United States and among the top serotypes that cause ...

Exploring the impact of antibodies on the mechanics of bacterial fimbriae

, 2016
The discovery of antibiotics in 1928 seemed like a win in the battle against infectious diseases. But, the ability of bacterial pathogens to adapt to these life-saving medicines was underestimated. The bacterial evolution, indeed, led to the emergence of antibiotic resistance as soon as the clinical consumption of antibiotics started.

Frequency of P and type 1 fimbriae-encoding genes among uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from hospitalized patients in Qazvin and Karaj hospitals

The Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, 2015
Background: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most important cause of urinary tract infections in hospitalized patients especially in intensive care unit (ICU). Colonization of E.
