In Silico Destruction of Porphyromonas gingivalis Fimbriae by Streptomyces sp. Strain GMY02 [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2023 Porphyromonas gingivalis, a keystone pathogen in chronic periodontitis, has fimbria as one of the most important virulence factors because it plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of P. gingivalis infection.

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.

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2023 Background: CpxAR is a two-component system that allows bacteria to reorganize envelope structures in response to extracellular stimuli. CpxAR negatively affects type 1 fimbriae expression in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43, a hypervirulent strain.

Aggregative adherence fimbriae form compact structures as seen by SAXS
Scientific Reports, 2023 Bacterial colonization is mediated by fimbriae, which are thin hair-like appendages dispersed from the bacterial surface. The aggregative adherence fimbriae from enteroaggregative E. coli are secreted through the outer membrane and consist of polymerized

Molecules, 2022 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the most common pathogenic bacteria associated with urinary tract infection (UTI). UPEC can cause UTI by adhering to and invading uroepithelial cells. Fimbriae is the most important virulence factor of UPEC, and a

mSystems, 2022 Salmonella is one of the most successful foodborne pathogens worldwide, owing in part to its ability to colonize or infect a wide range of hosts. Salmonella serovars are known to encode a variety of different fimbriae (hairlike organelles that facilitate

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

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2023 Background Mfa1 fimbriae of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis are responsible for biofilm formation and comprise five proteins: Mfa1–5. Two major genotypes, mfa170 and mfa153, encode major fimbrillin.
