The transformants subsequently exhibited the ability to form pili and social motility.
2
Specific antibody to type 1 pili prevented colonization by the piliated organisms.
3
Even the erector pili muscle and the sudoriparous gland are often found.
4
Type 1 pili are also critical for colonization and infection in the bladder.
5
Other studies have provided the molecular basis of host recognition by CU pili.
1
Set up the camp, primus pilus, as think you best.
2
Regulation of HSAF production by PilR was found to be independent of pilus formation.
3
The CPS and pilus typing results were generally consistent with MLST and BAPS clustering.
4
We discuss the implications of these findings in the context of Type IV pilus retraction regulation.
5
A pulse-chase analysis revealed that a chaperone-PapA complex is a true periplasmic intermediate in pilus assembly.
1
The frequency of fimbria-associated adhesins among respiratory pathogens has not been studied in detail.
2
The alteration of CA, hippocampus-amygdala transition area, and fimbria still requires further comparison between the two patient groups.
3
The type b strain 770235 attached via fimbriae but also expressed a subcapsular adhesin that was detected in a capsule- and fimbria-defective mutant.
4
Conjugation may represent an important mechanism by which type 3 fimbria genes are transferred among the Enterobacteriaceae that cause device-related infections in nosocomial settings.
5
The function of FimC is to provide a surrogate donor strand before delivery of each subunit to the FimD usher and the growing fimbria.

Background: Tip-localized adhesive proteins of bacterialfimbriae from diverse pathogens confer protection in animal models, but efficacy in humans has not been reported.

1
In addition, production of type 1 fimbriae was also impaired in these strains.
2
This effect was reversible and abolished by pre-incubation of fimbriae with anti-CfaE antibody.
3
These novel findings suggest that there are two forms of type 1 MS fimbriae.
4
There was no support for a relationship between type 1 fimbriae and renal scarring.
5
Type 1 fimbriae are rod-shaped surface appendages found in most E. coli and Salmonella isolates.
6
Conclusions: The fimbriae of strain 381 are important, but are not required, for this inductive effect.
7
Many gram-negative enterobacteria produce surface-associated fimbriae that facilitate attachment and adherence to eucaryotic cells and tissues.
8
In this review emphasis is put on the morphology, genetic configuration, and biosynthesis of F4 fimbriae.
9
Thus, type 1 fimbriae in these closely related bacterial species appear to function in distinctly different physiological environments.
10
P and type 1 fimbriae.
11
Finally, the importance of F4 fimbriae and their receptors in the study of mucosal immunity in pigs is discussed.
12
Strains isolated from a different host niche, the urinary tract, expressed type 1 fimbriae that conferred an increased level of adhesion.
13
Our findings suggest that the minor subunits of class 5 fimbriae may be superior to whole fimbriae in inducing antiadhesive immunity.
14
Specific receptors are present on intestinal epithelium for attachment of these fimbriae, which do not express to same level in all animals.
15
The capsular polysaccharide and type 1 fimbriae are two of the major surface-located virulence properties associated with the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
16
This adhesin is frequently found in strains of K. oxytoca but is rarely associated with the type 3 fimbriae of K. pneumoniae.
