Functional Variability of Type 1 Fimbriae of Escherichia coli
2005Type 1 fimbriae and the FimH-adhesins of E. coli differ in adhesive functions: those of a meningitis isolate IHE3034 mediate adhesion to collagens whereas those of an avirulent K-12 strain PC31 do not. Amino acid residue Alanine-62 in the FimH is critical for the collagen binding ability: substitution of Ala62 of IHE3034 FimH into serine abolishes ...

Secretion of type-1-fimbriae binding proteins from human neutrophil granulocytes
Inflammation, 1996Granule matrix proteins secreted from human neutrophils after ionomycin stimulation were separated by SDS-PAGE, blotted onto a polyvinylidene diflouride (PVDF) membrane and overlaid with the mannose-binding lectin concanavalin A (Con A) or Escherichia coli bacteria exposing type-I-fimbriae.

Molecular Biology of Escherichia coli Type 1 Fimbriae
1991Most strains of Escherichia coli are able to express type 1 fimbriae. These are thread-like surface organelles consisting of around 1000 subunits of a major structural component, the FimA protein, as well as a few percent minor components. Type 1 fimbriae mediate binding to D-mannose containing structures and thereby enable the bacteria to colonize ...

Type 1 fimbriae of Escherichia coli as carriers of heterologous antigenic sequences
Gene, 1989A strategy has been designed for the construction of recombinant bacterial strains which eventually may become useful as live vaccines and which may also be relevant for the preparation of conventional vaccines. The approach used is the fusion of small antigenic peptide sequences into specific segments of a protein whose location on the bacterial ...

Type 1 Fimbriae, Curli, and Antigen 43: Adhesion, Colonization, and Biofilm Formation
EcoSal Plus, 2004This review is primarily concerned with the first step in biofilm formation, namely, bacterial attachment to surfaces. It describes three examples of bacterial adhesins, each of which belongs to a different subgroup and follows different strategies for surface presentation and adhesin exposure.

[Type 1 fimbriae and P fimbriae in E. coli producing chronic prostatitis].
Enfermedades infecciosas y microbiologia clinica, 1991The fimbriated adhesines constitute a factor of virulence of E. coli in the urinary tract infections. The presence of type 1 fimbriae and fimbriae P was evaluated in 23 E. coli strains isolated with patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis. For the diagnosis of prostatitis the Stamey test was used.

Veterinary Microbiology, 1998
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were used to identify and characterise epitopes of type 1 (SEF21) fimbriae of Salmonella enteritidis. The distribution of the epitopes among salmonellas and other enterobacteria was investigated, as well as the influence of growth media and temperatures on their expression.

Prevalence and Occurrence of Type 1 Fimbriae in Klebsiella pneumoniae
International Journal of Science and Healthcare ResearchBackground: Klebsiella pneumoniae causes both community acquired and nosocomial infections. The various virulence factors have been well characterised in K. pneumoniae includes: capsule, lipopolysaccharides, siderophores and fimbriae. FimH 1, encoding for fimbriae and mediate adhesion.

FimK regulation on the expression of type 1 fimbriae in Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43S3
Microbiology, 2013Klebsiella pneumoniae CG43, a heavy encapsulated liver abscess isolate, mainly expresses type 3 fimbriae. Type 1 fimbriae expression was only apparent in CG43S3ΔmrkA (the type 3 fimbriae-deficient strain). The expression of type 1 fimbriae in CG43S3ΔmrkA was reduced by deleting the fimK gene, but was unaffected by removing the 3' end of fimK encoding ...
