CRP-Cyclic AMP Regulates the Expression of Type 3 Fimbriae via Cyclic di-GMP in Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Klebsiella pneumoniae is the predominant pathogen isolated from liver abscesses of diabetic patients in Asian countries. However, the effects of elevated blood glucose levels on the virulence of this pathogen remain largely unknown.

Histone H1 Proteins Act As Receptors for the 987P Fimbriae of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli* [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 The tip adhesin FasG of the 987P fimbriae of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli mediates two distinct adhesive interactions with brush border molecules of the intestinal epithelial cells of neonatal piglets.

Naringenin targets FimZ to regulate type I fimbriae and reduce the virulence of Salmonella [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologySalmonella infection severely affects the healthy development of livestock and poultry, as well as food safety and public health. The critical role of type I fimbriae (TIFs) in promoting Salmonella pathogenicity makes them important targets for exploring

Long Polar Fimbriae of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Bind to Extracellular Matrix Proteins [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2011 ABSTRACT Adherence to intestinal cells is a key process in infection caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Several adhesion factors that mediate the binding of EHEC to intestinal cells have been described, but the receptors involved in their recognition are not fully characterized ...

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.

P-fimbriae of Escherichia coli: immuno- and protein-chemical characterization of fimbriae from two pyelonephritogenic strains [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1983 Many types of fimbriae have been described on pathogenic Escherichia coli strains. K88, K99, C F A / I and C F A / I I are fimbrial antigens on enterotoxigenic E. coli strains. The K88 antigens are found on strains causing diarrhoea in piglets [1], whereas strains with the K99 antigen cause diarrhoea in calves and lambs [2].

Identification of major and minor chaperone proteins involved in the export of 987P fimbriae [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1996 The 987P fimbriae of Escherichia coli consist mainly of the major subunit, FasA, and two minor subunits, FasF and FasG. In addition to the previously characterized outer membrane or usher protein FasD, the FasB, FasC, and FasE proteins are required for fimbriation.

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.

Spikes and fimbriae: alpha-helical proteins form surface projections on microorganisms. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981 Two basic alpha-helical plans appear to characterize portions of the proteins projecting from the surface of many microorganisms. Structure A is related to that of the antibody-binding protein A of Staphylococcus aureus, in which a single polypeptide chain doubles back to form an Anti-parallel domain; the other, structure M, is related to the M ...
