Neisseria meningitidis filamentous phage MDA promotes colonisation by selecting hyperadhesive pili variants

Nature Communications
Filamentous phages are non-lytic phages mutually beneficial to their bacterial hosts. In Neisseria meningitidis, the filamentous phage MDA is associated with invasive diseases thanks to its key role in the formation of biofilm during epithelium ...

Regulation of the type IV pili localization in Myxococcus xanthus

, 2010
Myxococcus xanthus cells are rod-shaped and move in the direction of their long axis, using two distinct motility systems. The S-motility system is type IV pili (T4P)-dependent. T4P are dynamic structures, localized at the leading cell pole and undergo extension/retraction oscillations.
