Pili are proteic retractile filaments up to 20 micrometer long that protrude from gram-negative bacteria. Some RNA and DNA bacteriophages use pili to attach to the host cell. There are many types of pili and each bacterial virus binds specifically to a precise type. Do all bacteria have pili?
In twitching motility, bacterial use their type IV pili as a grappling hook, repeatedly extending it, anchoring it and then retracting it with remarkable force (>80 pN).[123] Flagella are semi-rigid cylindrical structures that are rotated and function much like the propeller on a ship. Object...
Subcellular localization of type IV pili regulates bacterial multicellular development Bacteria can form organized multicellular communities through regulation of cell growth, motility, shape and differentiation. Here, Ellison et al. show that bacterial multicellular development can also be driven by specific...

them, namely chaperone-usher pili, type IV pili, conjugative type IV secretion pili and type V pili, are beginning to explain some of the intriguing biological properties that pili exhibit, such as the ability of chaperone-usher pili and type IV pili to stretch in response to external forces...
This is especially true for structures known as type IV pili: nanometer-wide filaments that extend and retract from the surface of many bacteria, helping them walk in a way known as "twitching motility." The term might not sound very serious, but it mechanically activates virulence in certain...
bacteria, four types of pili have been characterized in detail over the last decades: i) the type I and type P of Escherichia coli (chaperone/usher pathway); ii) the type III of Yersinia, Shigella and Salmonella (secretion needle); iii) the type IV of Neisseria; and iv) curli of E....
