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.

Variation in the structural subunit and basal protein antigens of Bacteroides nodosus fimbriae
Journal of Bacteriology, 1986 The fimbriae of Bacteroides nodosus play a major role in protective immunity against ovine footrot and are an important determinant in the serological classification system that divides field isolates into at least eight serogroups and 16 serotypes.

Maturation of fimbria precursor protein by exogenous gingipains inPorphyromonas gingivalisgingipain-null mutant [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007 Porphyromonas gingivalis expresses several virulence factors such as fimbriae and proteases, termed gingipains, which are enzymes that process precursor fimbriae proteins. Thus, gingipain-null mutants lack mature fimbriae. Membrane vesicle-depleted supernatants (VDS) containing soluble gingipains were prepared as an exogenous gingipain fraction ...

Subversion of a family of antimicrobial proteins by Salmonella enterica
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologySalmonella enterica is a food-borne pathogen able to cause a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis to systemic infections. During almost all stages of the infection process Salmonella is likely to be exposed to a wide variety of ...
