Surface structures involved in plant stomata and leaf colonization by Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2011
Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 uses a myriad of surface adhesive appendages including pili, flagella, and the type 3 secretion system (T3SS) to adhere to and inflict damage to the human gut mucosa. Consumption of contaminated ground beef,

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.

How bacterial cells and colonies move on solid substrates

, 2019
Many bacteria rely on active cell appendages, such as type IV pili, to move over substrates and interact with neighboring cells. Here, we study the motion of individual cells and bacterial colonies, mediated by the collective interactions of multiple ...
