Dynamic properties of bacterial pili measured by optical tweezers [PDF]
Proceedings of SPIE, 2004(5514), 2014 The ability of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) to cause urinary tract infections is dependent on their ability to colonize the uroepithelium. Infecting bacteria ascend the urethra to the bladder and then kidneys by attaching to the uroepithelial cells via the differential expression of adhesins. P pili are associated with pyelonephritis, the more
