Interaction of Fimbriae of Haemophilus influenzae Type B with Heparin-Binding Extracellular Matrix Proteins [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 ABSTRACT The interaction of the fimbriae of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) with two heparin-binding extracellular matrix proteins, human fibronectin (Fn) and heparin-binding growth-associated molecule (HB-GAM) from mouse, were studied.

Fimbria-associated proteins of Bacteroides loescheii PK1295 mediate intergeneric coaggregations [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 Bacteroides loescheii PK1295 serves as a coaggregation bridge between Streptococcus sanguis 34 and Actinomyces israelii PK14, two gram-positive oral bacteria that are otherwise unable to coaggregate. Whereas coaggregation with S. sanguis 34 is inhibited by lactose, no simple sugar was found that inhibited coaggregation with A.

Aggregative adherence fimbriae form compact structures as seen by SAXS
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

Protein interaction studies of curli fimbriae in Escherichia coli biofilms [PDF]
Bioinformation, 2019 Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) caused by biofilms on indwelling medical devices are the most common type of nosocomial infections, a major health concern due to complications and frequent recurrence. The infections are most often caused by Escherichia coli.

Production of a subunit vaccine candidate against porcine post-weaning diarrhea in high-biomass transplastomic tobacco [PDF]
, 2012 Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets is a major problem in piggeries worldwide and results in severe economic losses. Infection with Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the key culprit for the PWD disease.

Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae induce a 68-kilodalton phosphorylated protein in macrophages [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1994 The present study was performed to examine whether Porphyromonas gingivalis fimbriae induce specifically a protein kinase-mediated phosphorylated protein that is involved in the mechanism of signal transduction. The fimbriae induced a 68-kDa phosphorylated protein (pp68) in a dose-dependent manner in mouse peritoneal macrophages. A marked appearance of

The pancreatic zymogen granule membrane protein, GP2, binds Escherichia colitype 1 Fimbriae [PDF]
BMC Gastroenterology, 2009 GP2 is the major membrane protein present in the pancreatic zymogen granule, and is cleaved and released into the pancreatic duct along with exocrine secretions. The function of GP2 is unknown. GP2's amino acid sequence is most similar to that of uromodulin, which is secreted by the kidney.

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]
, 2020 Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

Binding of colloidal gold-labeled salivary proline-rich proteins to Actinomyces viscosus type 1 fimbriae [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1990 Salivary proline-rich proteins (PRPs), which were purified from parotid saliva, were adsorbed onto 15-nm-diameter gold particles to visualize specific binding of the salivary molecules to Actinomyces viscosus type 1 fimbriae. Negatively stained preparations incubated with PRP-gold conjugates but not bovine serum albumin-gold complexes bound ...
