Variations in the expression of pili: the effect on adherence of Neisseria meningitidis to human epithelial and endothelial cells.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 1992

Virji M, Alexandrescu C, Ferguson D J, Saunders J R, Moxon E R

Abstract excerpt

The effect of variations in Neisseria meningitidis pili on bacterial interactions with three epithelial cell lines as well as human umbilical vein endothelial cells was studied using a panel of seven strains expressing Class I or Class II pili. Comparison of adherence of piliated and pilus-deficient variants of each strain to epithelial cells suggested that Class I pili may mediate bacterial adherence with all...
