Journal of Biomedical Science, 2009 Bacterial adherence to epithelial cells is a key virulence trait of pathogenic bacteria. The type 1 fimbriae and the P-fimbriae of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) have both been described to be important for the establishment of urinary tract ...

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2005 Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Symptomatic UTIs may be acute, recurrent or chronic but the most frequent form of UTI is asymptomatic bacteruria (ABU). In ABU, the mucosa remains inert, despite the presence of large bacterial numbers in urine.

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.Retail meat–derived E. coli frequently harbored multidrug‑resistance phenotypes, diverse virulence determinants, and plasmid‑encoded resistance genes with high conjugative potential. Results indicate meat and poultry as underrecognized reservoirs facilitating dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and pathogenic lineages, with imported products ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.This study reveals that Porphyromonas gingivalis suppresses IFN‐γ signaling by downregulating STAT1 in macrophages. Gingipain protease activity and the Type IX Secretion System are essential for this immune evasion mechanism. These findings identify a novel bacterial strategy for host immune suppression and suggest new therapeutic targets for P ...

ETEC colonisation factors disrupt the antigen presenting capacity of porcine intestinal dendritic cells [PDF]
, 2012 Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are not only a major cause of diarrhoea in travellers to and children in developing countries, but also cause neonatal and postweaning diarrhoea in piglets, leading to a reduced feed conversion and a higher mortality rate ...

Biofilm formation in a hydrodynamic environment by novel FimH variants and ramifications for virulence [PDF]
, 2001 Type 1 fimbriae are surface-located adhesion organelles of Escherichia coli that are directly associated with virulence of the urinary tract. They mediate D-mannose-sensitive binding to different host surfaces by way of the minor fimbrial component FimH.

Type 3 fimbriae of Klebsiella sp.: molecular characterization and role in bacterial adhesion to plant roots [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1983 Type 3 fimbriae of Klebsiella were purified and characterized. The fimbriae were 4 to 5 nm in diameter and 0.5 to 2 microns long. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the fimbrillin had an apparent molecular weight of 23,500, and it differed from enterobacterial type 1 fimbrillins in its amino acid composition.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 7, Page 1908-1929, April 2026.This study investigates the potential of encapsulin as an antigen display platform for the development of a candidate Salmonella vaccine for poultry. Encapsulin constructs were transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana where they accumulated to high levels.
