Functional expression of heterologous type 4 fimbriae in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Gene - 10 Oct 1996

Watson A A, Mattick J S, Alm R A

Abstract excerpt

Type 4 fimbriae are surface organelles produced by a wide range of bacterial pathogens. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa they are associated with a form of surface translocation known as twitching motility and have also been implicated as the receptor for a number of fimbrial-specific bacteriophages. The infrastructural machinery required for type 4 fimbrial biogenesis appears to be conserved as heterologous subunits...
