This review describes the surface structures (fibrils and fimbriae), on oral bacteria that can be responsible for adhesion to buccal mucosa, teeth and other bacteria (coaggregation). Fibrils and fimbriae have been found on a number of different species of Streptococcus, Actinomyces and Bacteroides,...
The external structures of bacterial cells vary per species and each type of structure is made for a specific function that helps the bacteria thrive and survive. Learn about the different types of bacterial structures such as the pili, fimbriae, flagella, glycocalyx, and their specific functions....
In the same vein as pili are fimbriae. Read Bacterial Structures and Their Functions Lesson Recommended for You Recommended for You Video: Bacterial Chromosome | Definition, Structure & Function Video: Bacterial Protein Synthesis | Process & Inhibitors Video: Respiration in Bacteria | Types & ...
PROTEIN TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN C. TRACHOMATIS Gram-negative bacteria use several protein transport systems that are essential for interactions with other cells and with the extracellular environment [18][19][20]. In the case of C. trachomatis, its genome encodes the Sec system, a type II secretion...

Reduced production of type 1 fimbriae resulted in decreased cell invasion capacity and virulence in a mouse urinary tract infection model [95]. Trehalose not only plays a significant role in the colonization of host cells and helps pathogens cope with stress during development but is also involved...
