Potential role of phase variation of type 1 pili in urinary tract infection. and bacterial prostatitis.

Infection - 1 Jan 1991

Schaeffer A J

Abstract excerpt

Adherence of Escherichia coli to uroepithelial cells is an important step in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infection. The process is frequently mediated by pili which undergo phase variation in response to changes in environmental growth conditions in vitro. It is possible that phase variation of pili and other bacterial virulence factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of bacterial prostatitis. The...
