Mouse-virulent Salmonella typhimurium strains SR-11 and ATCC 14028-1s express curli
fibers, thin aggregative fibers, at ambient temperature on plates as judged by Western blot …

Curli fibers could be described as a virulence factor able to confer adherence properties to
both abiotic and eukaryotic surfaces. The ability to adapt rapidly to changing environmental …

The rugose (also known as wrinkled or rdar) phenotype in Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhimurium DT104 Rv has been associated with cell aggregation and the ability, at low …

Curli fibers are adhesive surface fibers expressed by Escherichia coli and Salmonella
enterica that bind several host extracellular matrix and contact phase proteins and were …

Produced by many Enterobacteriaceae spp., curli are biologically important amyloid fibres
that have been associated with biofilm formation, host cell adhesion and invasion, and …

Curli are thin, coiled, temperature‐regulated fibres on fibronectin‐binding Escherichia coli.
The subunit protein of curli was highly homologous at its amino terminus to SEF‐17, the …

Two divergently transcribed operons in Escherichia coli required for the expression of
fibronectin‐and Congo red‐binding curli polymers were identified and characterized by …

Curli, an adhesive surface fibre produced by Escherichia coli and salmonellae, was
proposed on the basis of genetic evidence to follow a distinct assembly pathway involving …

The starvation‐induced csgD gene of Salmonella typhimurium encodes for the positive
transcriptional regulator of extracellular matrix components curli fimbriae and cellulose. To …

Production of curli (AgF) adhesins by Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhimurium (S. typhimurium) is associated with extracellular matrix production and is …
