TLR2 Activation by Porphyromonas gingivalis Requires Both PPAD Activity and Fimbriae [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Porphyromonas gingivalis, a keystone oral pathogen implicated in development and progression of periodontitis, may also contribute to the pathogenicity of diseases such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer’s. P. gingivalis is a master manipulator

Aggregative adherence fimbriae form compact structures as seen by SAXS [PDF]
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

Mechanics of biofilms formed of bacteria with fimbriae appendages
PLoS ONE, 2020 Gram-negative bacteria, as well as some Gram-positive bacteria, possess hair-like appendages known as fimbriae, which play an important role in adhesion of the bacteria to surfaces or to other bacteria.

F9 Fimbriae of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Are Expressed at Low Temperature and Recognise Galβ1-3GlcNAc-Containing Glycans [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTI) in the developed world. Among the major virulence factors of UPEC, surface expressed adhesins mediate attachment and tissue tropism.

Three-dimensional modeling of the human fallopian tube fimbriae
Gynecologic Oncology, 2014 Objective Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy that affects women. Recent data suggests the disease may originate in the fallopian fimbriae; however, the anatomical origin of ovarian carcinogenesis remains unclear.

Chaperone-usher fimbriae in a diverse selection of Gallibacterium genomes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2014 Fimbriae are bacterial cell surface organelles involved in the pathogenesis of many bacterial species, including Gallibacterium anatis, in which a F17-like fimbriae of the chaperone-usher (CU) family was recently shown to be an important virulence factor

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.
