Human urine decreases function and expression of type 1 pili in uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2015 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary cause of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs). UPEC bind the bladder using type 1 pili, encoded by the fim operon in nearly all E. coli.

Adhesion of Escherichia coli under flow conditions reveals potential novel effects of FimH mutations [PDF]
, 2016 FimH-mediated adhesion of Escherichia coli to bladder epithelium is a prerequisite for urinary tract infections. FimH is also essential for blood-borne bacterial dissemination, but the mechanisms are poorly understood.

, 2011 Adhesion of bacteria to glycosylated cells and surfaces is largely facilitated through adhesive organells projecting from the bacterial surface, which are called fimbriae. The most important fimbriae in Escherichia coli and in most of the other enterobacteria are the type 1 fimbriae which mediate adhesion in an α-D-mannoside-specific manner. The lectin

Ordered and ushered; the assembly and translocation of the adhesive Type I and P Pili [PDF]
, 2013 Type I and P pili are chaperone-usher pili of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, which allow bacteria to adhere to host cell receptors. Pilus formation and secretion are orchestrated by two accessory proteins, a chaperone, which catalyses pilus subunit ...

Segmentation of Myocardial Boundaries in Tagged Cardiac MRI Using Active Contours: A Gradient-Based Approach Integrating Texture Analysis [PDF]
, 2009 The noninvasive assessment of cardiac function is of first importance for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Among all medical scanners only a few enables radiologists to evaluate the local cardiac motion. Tagged cardiac MRI is one of them.

Insights from the molecular docking analysis of SGLT2 and FIMH to combat uropathogenicity
Bioinformation, 2022 SGLT2 inhibitors are a novel class of FDA approved anti-diabetes drugs. They act by blocking the SGLT2 protein, which prevents glucose reabsorption, leading in enhance glucose excretion and lower blood glucose levels.
