Highly conserved type 1 pili promote enterotoxigenic E. coli pathogen-host interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), defined by their elaboration of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins, are a common cause of diarrheal illness in developing countries.

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.

The role of bacterial secretion systems in the virulence of Gram-negative airway pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
, 2016 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder in Caucasians. It is caused by mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

H-NS is the major repressor of Salmonella Typhimurium Pef fimbriae expression
Virulence, 2019 Fimbriae play an important role in adhesion and are therefore essential for the interaction of bacteria with the environments they encounter. Most of them are expressed in vivo but not in vitro, thus making difficult the full characterization of these ...

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 ...

Mechanisms of Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli. [PDF]
, 2016 Pathobiont expansion, such as that of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), is an emerging factor associated with inflammatory bowel disease. The intestinal epithelial barrier is the first line of defense against these pathogens.

A review on pilus assembly mechanisms in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
The Cell Surface, 2022 The surface of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria contains long hair-like proteinaceous protrusion known as pili or fimbriae. Historically, pilin proteins were considered to play a major role in the transfer of genetic material during bacterial ...
