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.

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.
6
S-motility is mediated by extension and retraction of type IV pili.
7
They exchanged information through their pili, passed on bits of memory, and compared notes.
8
It is associated with type IV pili, and specialized competence pili mediate DNA uptake.
9
Bacterial exposure to the inhibitor led to an almost instantaneous loss of type 1 pili.
10
This behavior has been observed in several contexts, including sugar metabolism and pili phase variation.
11
The coordinated production of type IV pili and antifungal antibiotics has not been observed previously.
12
Mutants lacking cell surface structures, namely type IV pili and the S-layer, do not form biofilms.
13
The phenotypes of the strain were also in line with the successful production of TCP pili.
14
Our hypothesis is that pili mediate interactions between cells and may thereby directly affect biofilm formation.
15
P pili are extracellular appendages responsible for the targeting of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the kidney.
16
Type IV pili are responsible for a diverse range of functions, including twitching motility and cell adhesion.
