Many Proteobacteria use the chaperone/usher pathway to assemble proteinaceous
filaments on the bacterial surface. These filaments can curl into fimbrial or nonfimbrial …

Over the last few years, dramatic increases in our knowledge about diffusely adhering
Escherichia coli (DAEC) pathogenesis have taken place. The typical class of DAEC includes …

The pathogenicity and clinical pertinence of diffusely adhering Escherichia coli expressing
the Afa/Dr adhesins (Afa/Dr DAEC) in urinary tract infections (UTIs) and pregnancy …

Gram-negative bacteria express a wide variety of organelles on their cell surface. These
surface structures may be the end products of secretion systems, such as the hair-like fibers …

The immunoglobulin (Ig) protein domain is widespread in nature having a well-recognized
role in proteins of the immune system. In this review, we describe the proteins containing Ig …

Gram-negative bacteria assemble a variety of surface structures, including the hair-like
organelles known as pili or fimbriae. Pili typically function in adhesion and mediate …

Escherichia coli is primarily known as a commensal colonising the gastrointestinal tract of
infants very early in life but some strains being responsible for diarrhoea, which can be …

Diffusely adherent Escherichia coli (DAEC) strains are currently considered to constitute a
putative sixth group of diarrheagenic E. coli. However, on the basis of their diffuse …

Pathogenic E. coli cause both intestinal and extra-intestinal infections in humans and
animals. Bacteria must be able to adhere to host cells if they are to colonize and to invade …

The year 2004 represents a milestone for the biosensor research community: in this year,
over 1000 articles were published describing experiments performed using commercially …
