Expression of sortase-dependent pili of<i>Bifidobacterium bifidum</i>PRL2010 in response to environmental gut conditions

Abstract excerpt

Cell surface pili have recently been found in many different bifidobacterial species, including the infant gut commensal Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010. Pili produced by PRL2010 have been shown to be important molecular mediators for bacterial interaction with its human host. However, nothing is known about the modulation of their expression in response to cues that reflect the gastro intestinal environment,...
