Genetic analysis of the requirement for flp-2, tadV, and rcpB in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans biofilm formation.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2006

Perez B A, Planet P J, Kachlany S C, Tomich M, Fine D H, Figurski D H

Abstract excerpt

The tad locus of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans encodes a molecular transport system required for tenacious, nonspecific adherence to surfaces and formation of extremely strong biofilms. This locus is dedicated to the biogenesis of Flp pili, which are required for colonization and virulence...
