The Major Outer Membrane Protein MopB Is Required for Twitching Movement and Affects Biofilm Formation and Virulence in Two Xylella fastidiosa strains

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2017
MopB is a major outer membrane protein (OMP) in Xylella fastidiosa, a bacterial plant pathogen that causes losses on many economically important crops. Based on in silico analysis, the uncharacterized MopB protein of X.

Determining the effect of the loss of small RNAs OmrA and OmrB on type 1 pili expression in Escherichia coli

, 2017
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) cause up to 90% of the seven million annual cases of urinary tract infections in the United States. Expression of type 1 pili is necessary for pathogenicity and allows UPEC to attach to the host bladder epithelium ...

Fast uncoiling kinetics of F1C pili expressed by uropathogenic Escherichia coli are revealed on a single pilus level using force-measuring optical tweezers

, 2010
International audienceUropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) express various kinds of organelles, so-called pili or fimbriae, that mediate adhesion to host tissue in the urinary tract through specific receptor-adhesin interactions.

Type IV Pili Can Mediate Bacterial Motility within Epithelial Cells

mBio, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among bacterial pathogens capable of twitching motility, a form of surface-associated movement dependent on type IV pili (T4P). Previously, we showed that T4P and twitching were required for P.

In vivo Evaluation of FimH Antagonists – A Novel Class of Antimicrobials for the Treatment of Urinary Tract Infection

CHIMIA, 2012
The discovery of antimicrobials as ?-lactam antibiotics or aminoglycosides revolutionized the treatment of infectious diseases. However, the extensive use rapidly created the problem of resistant pathogens, which are increasingly difficult to ...
