Cryo-EM structure of the pKpQIL conjugative pili from carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

Structure, 2020
Summary Conjugative pili are important in mediating bacterial conjugation and horizontal gene transfer. Since plasmid transfer can include antibiotic resistance genes, conjugation is an important mechanism in the spread of antibiotic resistance ...

Sex Pili as Immunogens [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1975
Groups of chickens were vaccinated intravenously with live cultures of Escherichia coli K12 possessing transfer factors F, I, A2 or no transfer factor (Tra-minus) and their immunity challenged by injecting them intravenously with an F-plus strain of Salmonella heidelberg or an F-plus or I-plus strain of Salmonella typhimurium.

Neisseria meningitidis differentially controls host cell motility through PilC1 and PilC2 components of type IV pili

, 2009
Neisseria meningitidis is a strictly human pathogen that has two facets since asymptomatic carriage can unpredictably turn into fulminant forms of infection.

PilT and PilU are homohexameric ATPases that coordinate to retract type IVa pili

bioRxiv, 2019
Bacterial type IV pili are critical for diverse biological processes including horizontal gene transfer, surface sensing, biofilm formation, adherence, motility, and virulence. These dynamic appendages extend and retract from the cell surface.

FimH and Type 1 Pili Mediated Tumor Cell Cytotoxicity by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli In Vitro

Pathogens, 2023
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli express hairlike proteinaceous surface projections, known as chaperone–usher pathway (CUP) pili. Type 1 pili are CUP pili with well-established pathogenic properties. The FimH adhesin subunit of type 1 pili plays a key role
