1
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
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.
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.
