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
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.

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.
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.
Usage of pilus in English
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.
6
Circulating immunoglobulin G antibody activity to the bundle-forming pilus subunit A was readily detected in all children.
7
The type 1 pilus genes are also thought to be negatively regulated by a large number of repressors.
8
This structural similarity suggests similar functions in usher-mediated pilus biogenesis, playing out at different stages of the process.
9
Little is known about directed motility of bacteria that move by type IV pilus-mediated (twitching) motility.
10

12
We investigated if differences in type 1 pilus expression may explain TOP52's early defect in vivo.
13
Finally, we found no difference between wild-type and mutant cells in transformation efficiency, suggesting neither mutation inhibits Type IV pilus retraction.
14
Although the mechanism of pilus biogenesis is well characterized, how the usher itself is assembled at the outer membrane is unclear.
15
This study aims to detect phylogenetic inconsistency in CPS genes and pilus islands in GBSs and to explore its relationship with invasiveness.
16
