Type IV pili are important for microcolony formation, biofilm formation, twitching motility, and
attachment. We and others have shown that type IV pili are important for protein secretion …

Biogenesis of the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) of Vibrio cholerae 01 is essential for
successful bacterial colonization of the small intestine. Pilus assembly requires the products …

The toxin-co-regulated pilus (TCP), an important colonization factor of Vibrio cholerae, is
similar to the type 4 pilus produced by a variety of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. The …

The toxin‐co‐regulated pilus (TCP), a type 4 pilus that is expressed by epidemic strains of
Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139, is required for colonization of the human intestine. The TCP …

The best characterized pilus of Vibrio cholerae is the toxin‐coregulated pilus (TCP)
described by Taylor and coworkers. The pilus is designated TCP, for toxin‐coregulated …

Vibrio cholerae is the etiological agent of the acute intestinal disorder cholera. The toxin-
coregulated pilus (TCP), a type IVb pilus, is an essential virulence factor of V. cholerae …

Colonization of the human small intestine by Vibrio cholerae requires the type 4 toxin co‐
regulated pilus (TCP). Genes encoding the structure and biogenesis functions of TCP are …

The Vibrio cholerae toxin co-regulated pilus (TCP) is a type 4b pilus that mediates bacterial
microcolony formation, which is essential for intestinal colonization. Structural analyses have …

Several experimental approaches have provided evidence suggesting that a domain within
the C-terminal region of the TcpA pilin, delineated by the single disulfide loop, is directly …

The toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) of Vibrio cholerae and the soluble TcpF protein that is
secreted via the TCP biogenesis apparatus are essential for intestinal colonization. The TCP …
