F9 fimbriae of uropathogenic Escherichia coli are expressed at low temperature and recognise Galβ1-3GlcNAc-containing glycans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the leading causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTI) in the developed world. Among the major virulence factors of UPEC, surface expressed adhesins mediate attachment and tissue tropism.

Antigens Of The Type-2 Fimbriae Of Salmonellae: "Cross-Reacting Material" (Crm) Of Type-1 Fimbriae [PDF]
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1971 Summary Antisera were prepared against the type-1 fimbriae of three strains of Salmonella paratyphi B and against the type-2 fimbriae of two strains of S. paratyphi B and one strain of S. pullorum. The anti-type-1 and anti-type-2 sera agglutinated fimbriate-phase bacteria possessing either type-1 or type-2 fimbriae.

Characterization of type 1 and mannose-resistant fimbriae of Erwinia spp [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 Type 1 fimbriae from Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and mannose-resistant fimbriae from Erwinia rhapontici were purified and characterized. The type 1 fimbrillin had an apparent molecular weight of 16,500; that of the mannose-resistant fimbrillin was 18,000.

Pellicle receptors for Actinomyces viscosus type 1 fimbriae in vitro [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1989 Actinomyces viscosus T14V-J1 and its fimbria-deficient mutant strain possessing type 1 fimbriae strongly aggregated with latex beads treated with acidic proline-rich protein 1, basic proline-rich proteins, and proline-rich glycoprotein and its deglycosylated derivative.

Modes of evolution in a parasite?host interaction: Dis-entangling factors determining the evolution of regulated fimbriation in E. coli [PDF]
, 2008 Escherichia coli expresses type-I fimbriae; these are protrusions from the outer cell wall and have been identified as a virulence factor. They are also expressed by commensal strains of E.

Assembly of a chemically synthesized peptide of Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae into fimbria-like antigenic structures [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 Escherichia coli type 1 fimbriae are composed of subunits, each of which comprises 158 amino acids. We synthesized a copy of a 13-residue peptide, located near the NH2 terminus of the fimbrial subunit, that assumed some of the properties of type 1 fimbriae.
