Pili (fimbriae) of Branhamella species [PDF]
The American Journal of Medicine, 1990 Pili (fimbriae) have frequently been found to be involved in the attachment of bacteria to mucosal epithelial cells, an important initial step in the disease process. The purpose of this study was to determine if Branhamella catarrhalis expresses type 4 pili.Piliated B.

Platelet-Derived Growth Factor in the Ovarian Follicle Attracts the Stromal Cells of the Fallopian Tube Fimbriae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 During human ovulation, the fallopian tube fimbriae must move to the ovulation site to catch the oocyte. As the tissue-of-origin of the majority of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), the fallopian tube fimbriae carrying a precursor cancer lesion

Porphyromonas gingivalis FimA fimbriae: fimbrial assembly by fimA alone in the fim gene cluster and differential antigenicity among fimA genotypes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis colonizes largely through FimA fimbriae, composed of polymerized FimA encoded by fimA. fimA exists as a single copy within the fim gene cluster (fim cluster), which consists of seven genes: fimX, pgmA and

Research progress on the pathogenicity of Porphyromonas gingivalis clinical strains
口腔疾病防治, 2023 Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is closely related to the occurrence and development of periodontitis. It is considered to be one of the important pathogens leading to alveolar bone resorption. At present, research on P. gingivalis mostly adopts

Purification and characterization of a novel secondary fimbrial protein from Porphyromonas gulae
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2012 Background: Porphyromonas gulae are black-pigmented anaerobic bacteria isolated from the gingival sulcus of various animal hosts and are distinct from Porphyromonas gingivalis originating in humans. We previously reported the antigenic similarities of 41-
