Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2013 Marginal periodontitis is not a homogeneous disease but is rather influenced by an intricate set of host susceptibility differences as well as diversities in virulence among the harbored organisms. It is likely that clonal heterogeneity of subpopulations

Chaperone-Usher Fimbriae of Escherichia coli [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Chaperone-usher (CU) fimbriae are adhesive surface organelles common to many Gram-negative bacteria. Escherichia coli genomes contain a large variety of characterised and putative CU fimbrial operons, however, the classification and annotation of individual loci remains problematic.

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

Role of type 1 and type 3 fimbriae in
BMC Microbiology, 2010 Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important gram-negative opportunistic pathogen causing primarily urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and bacteraemia. The ability of bacteria to form biofilms on medical devices, e.g.

Microorganisms, 2021 Pathogens are exposed to a multitude of harmful conditions imposed by the environment of the host. Bacterial responses against these stresses are pivotal for successful host colonization and pathogenesis. In the case of many E.

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

Fimbriae potentiate Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans for periodontal disease [PDF]
Current Research in Microbial SciencesAggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a major contributor to aggressive periodontitis and has been increasingly implicated in systemic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Distribution of chaperone-usher fimbriae and curli fimbriae among uropathogenic Escherichia coli
BMC MicrobiologyIn the present study, we aimed to determine the frequency of the csgA, fimH, mrkD, foc, papaGI, papGII and papGIII genes, to provide and to design fimbrial adhesin gene (FAG) patterns and profiles for the isolated uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains.The enrollment of 108 positive urine samples was performed during seven months, between ...

Mfa4, an Accessory Protein of Mfa1 Fimbriae, Modulates Fimbrial Biogenesis, Cell Auto-Aggregation, and Biofilm Formation in Porphyromonas gingivalis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Porphyromonas gingivalis, a gram-negative obligate anaerobic bacterium, is considered to be a key pathogen in periodontal disease. The bacterium expresses Mfa1 fimbriae, which are composed of polymers of Mfa1.

PapB Family Regulators as Master Switches of Fimbrial Expression [PDF]
MicroorganismsSome bacterial species within the Enterobacteriaceae family possess different types of fimbrial (pili) adhesins that promote adherence to cells and colonization of host tissues.
