Pili (fimbriae) of Branhamella species.

The American journal of medicine - 14 May 1990

Marrs C F, Weir S

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Pili (fimbriae) have frequently been found to be involved in the attachment of bacteria to mucosal epithelial cells, an important initial step in the disease process. The purpose of this study was to determine if Branhamella catarrhalis expresses type 4 pili. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Piliated B. catarrhalis phenotypic characteristics of colony morphology, agar corrosion, twitching motility, competence for...
