‘Fimbriae’ in the fungus Ustilago violacea
Nature, 1974LONG fine hairs, called fimbriae1, or pili2, are commonly found attached to the cell walls of Gram-negative bacteria2, but do not seem to have been reported in other organisms. We report here that the yeast-like sporidial cells of the anther smut fungus Ustilago violacea also produce fimbriae.

The haemagglutinins and fimbriae of Proteus penneri
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1989The haemagglutinins and fimbriae produced by 18 strains of Proteus penneri were studied and compared with those formed by representative strains of other species of Proteeae. After repeated subcultures at 30 degrees C, 12 P. penneri strains formed only MR/K haemagglutinins which were associated with thin, non-channelled, type-3 fimbriae.

Combining sites of bacterial fimbriae
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2007The few known crystal structures of receptor-binding domains of fimbrial tip adhesins, FimH, PapGII, and F17G, tell us that each of these structures is unique and surprising. Despite little to no sequence identity, common to them all is their variable immunoglobulin (Ig)-fold. Nevertheless, their glycan-binding sites have evolved in different locations

Type 4 fimbriae (or pili) occur in a wide variety of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella bovis, and Dichelobacter nodosus. The commercial development of multivalent vaccines containing fimbriae representing all serogroups of pathogenic D. nodosus, N. gonorrhoeae, or M.

Asiatic cholera is an acute and often fatal diarrheal disease afflicting humans infected with the Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Although toxin production is directly responsible for the manifestation of diarrhea, cholera pathogenesis relies on numerous elements acting synergistically to promote vimlence.

Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of pertussis or whooping cough, a serious disease of the respiratory tract. B. pertussis strains produce two serologically distinct fimbriae that were first identified as agglutinogens, i.e., antigens that induce the production of antibodies that agglutinate the bacteria.
