Influence of pili, fibrils, and capsule on in vitro adherence by Haemophilus influenzae type b.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 1996

St Geme J W, Cutter D

Abstract excerpt

Haemophilus influenzae type b is an encapsulated bacterium that initiates infection by colonizing the upper respiratory epithelium. In vitro studies indicate that H. influenzae type b is capable of expressing two morphologically distinct filamentous adhesive structures, referred to as pili and fibrils, respectively. In this study, we examined adherence to a variety of human epithelial-cell types and demonstrated...
