Type 1 fimbriae are adhesion organelles expressed by many Gram-negative bacteria. They
facilitate adherence to mucosal surfaces and inflammatory cells in vitro, but their contribution …

Adhesion mediated by fimbriae is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of
urinary tract infections (UTI) by Escherichia coli. The majority of clinical isolates of E. coli …

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the most common etiological agent of urinary tract
infections. Bacteria can often express multiple adhesins during infection in order to favor …

Escherichia coli is the primary cause of uncomplicated infections of the urinary tract
including cystitis. More serious infections, characterized as acute pyelonephritis, can also …

Escherichia coli mutants defective in the ability to agglutinate guinea pig erythrocytes (HA-)
were isolated from a nalidixic acid-resistant derivative, 31-B, of E. coli TN 675 that produces …

Escherichia coli is the leading cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Despite the
association of numerous bacterial factors with uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), few such …

Type 1 fimbriae, expressed by most Escherichia coli strains, are thought to attach to human
uroepithelium as an initial step in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections (UTI) …

The FimH subunit of type 1-fimbriated Escherichia coli has been implicated as an important
determinant of bacterial adherence and colonization of the urinary tract. Here, we sought to …

Type 1 fimbriae are the most common adhesive organelles of Escherichia coli. Because of
their virtual ubiquity, previous epidemiological studies have not found a correlation between …

Fimbriae from three Escherichia coli strains, C1212, C1214, and C1023, isolated from
urinary tract infections, have been purified and characterized by determination of the N …
