Role of the Eikenella corrodens pilA locus in pilus function and phase variation.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2001

Villar M T, Hirschberg R L, Schaefer M R

Abstract excerpt

The human pathogen Eikenella corrodens expresses type IV pili and exhibits a phase variation involving the irreversible transition from piliated to nonpiliated variants. On solid medium, piliated variants form small (S-phase), corroding colonies whereas nonpiliated variants form large (L-phase), noncorroding colonies. We are studying pilus structure and function in the clinical isolate E. corrodens VA1. Earlier...
