1) Fimbriae from A. viscosus T14V may be similar to those found on other bacteria. 2) The antigenic difference between virulent and avirulent A. viscosus T14 appears to be of a quantitative rather than a qualitative nature and is related to fimbriae and not to the cell wall polysaccharide....
The role of SEF14 fimbriae in virulence remains to be elucidated and in this study, we showed that sefA mutant constructed in the wild-type (WT) Salmonella enteritidis strain 50336 displayed increased invasion to IPEC-J2 cell lines and survival in mouse peritoneal macrophages, and the lethal ...
Human neutrophils (PMN) express a heterodimeric receptor that has ligand binding specificity for the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence within many adhesive proteins. A monoclonal antibody, B6H12, which binds to this receptor, inhibits both RGD-... Gresham,D H. - 《Journal of Cell Biology》 被引量...
The diverse studies summarized in this review are providing insight into an extensive infrastructural system which appears to be utilized in the formation of a variety of cell surface-associated complexes. 展开 关键词: ENTEROBACTER-AGGLOMERANS NIF GENE CLUSTER NIF CASSETTE ...

The ability to adhere onto surfaces is of very high importance for microorganisms, enabling them to stay in a favourable habitat for life. In the case of Bacteria cell surface organelles called fimbriae/pili have been shown to be used for adhesion; corresponding cell surface appendages of Archaea...
Fimbriae are bacterial cell surface organelles involved in the pathogenesis of many bacterial species, including Gallibacterium anatis, in which a F17-like fimbriae of the chaperone-usher (CU) family was recently shown to be an important virulence factor

Conclusions: These results suggest that curli could be an important cell surface component to mediate the attachment of some EHEC cells to certain abiotic surfaces. Cell-surface contact time could have a significant influence on EHEC attachment to abiotic surfaces. Significance and Impact of the ...
