Article

The bacterial amyloid curli is associated with urinary source bloodstream infection.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2014

Hung Chia, Marschall Jonas, Burnham Carey-Ann D, Byun Albert S, Henderson Jeffrey P

Abstract excerpt

Urinary tract infections are the most common cause of E. coli bloodstream infections (BSI) but the mechanism of bloodstream invasion is poorly understood. Some clinical isolates have been observed to shield themselves with extracellular amyloid fibers called curli at physiologic temperature. We h...
