The role of pili in the interactions of pathogenic <i>Neisseria</i> with cultured human endothelial cells

1 Aug 1991

Abstract excerpt

The influence of the two surface structures of Neisseria meningitidis, capsule and pili, in bacterial interactions with human endothelial cells was investigated. Increased association correlated with the presence of pili on bacteria while capsule type had no apparent effect. Strains expressing both Class I and Class II pili associated with endothelial cells in significantly larger numbers compared with the...
