The Longus type IV pilus of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) mediates bacterial self-aggregation and protection from antimicrobial agents.

Microbial pathogenesis - 1 Jun 2010

Clavijo Andrea P, Bai Jing, Gómez-Duarte Oscar G

Abstract excerpt

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains are leading causes of childhood diarrhea in developing countries. ETEC pili and non-pili adherence factors designated colonization surface antigens (CSA) are believed to be important in the pathogenesis of diarrhea. Longus, a type IV pilus identified as the CSA(21), is expressed in up to one-third of ETEC strains, and share similarities to the toxin-coregulated...
