Characterization of Highly Mucus-Adherent Non-GMO Derivatives of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020 Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG is one of the best studied lactic acid bacteria in the context of probiotic effects. L. rhamnosus GG has been shown to prevent diarrhea in children and adults and has been implicated to have mitigating or preventive ...

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009 Exchange of DNA between bacteria involves conjugative pili. While the prevailing view has been that F-pili are completely retracted before single-stranded DNA is passed from one cell to another, it has recently been reported that the F-pilus, in addition to establishing the contact between mating cells, serves as a channel for passing DNA between ...

Epidemiology and Infection, 1970 SUMMARYThere are situations in which direct observation of the attachment of antibody molecules may be the simplest method of detecting antigen-antibody reactions. Applied to the study of the sex pili determined by a number of transmissible bacterial plasmids, the method has distinguished four serotypes in the F-like class and two in the I-like class ...

Observation of bacterial type I pili extension and contraction under fluid flow. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Type I pili are proteinaceous tethers that mediate bacterial adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to surfaces and are thought to help bacteria resist drag forces imparted by fluid flow via uncoiling of their quaternary structure.

Annals of Dermatology, 2014 Dear Editor: Cutaneous pili migrans is a rare skin condition in which a hair shaft or fragment is embedded in the superficial skin. It is characterized by a creeping eruption with black-line like hair mimicking cutaneous larva migrans1. Removal of the black hair shaft heals the lesion completely2,3. Herein, we report a case of cutaneous pili migrans

Mutations in the gene encoding the ancillary pilin subunit of the Streptococcus suis srtF cluster result in pili formed by the major subunit only. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Pili have been shown to contribute to the virulence of different Gram-positive pathogenic species. Among other critical steps of bacterial pathogenesis, these structures participate in adherence to host cells, colonization and systemic virulence ...

Electromicrobiology: Electron Transfer via Biowires in Nature and Practical Applications
BIO Web of Conferences, 2016 One of the most exciting developments in the field of electromicrobiology has been the discovery of electrically conductive pili (e-pili) in Geobacter species that transport electrons with a metallic-like mechanism.
