Examples of adhesin in the following topics:
-
- Adhesins are a type of virulence factor.
- Most fimbriae of Gram-negative bacteria function as adhesins, but in many cases the actual adhesin is a minor subunit protein at the tip of the fimbriae.
- In Gram-positive bacteria, a protein or polysaccharide surface layer serves as the specific adhesin.
- The effectiveness of anti-adhesin antibodies is illustrated by studies with FimH, the adhesin of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).
- Review the role of adhesins, including fimbriae and the Dr family, in pathogenic bacteria
-
- PAIs carry genes encoding one or more virulence factors, including, but not limited to, adhesins, toxins, or invasins.
-
- Otitis media caused by bacterial infections are due to Trimeric Autotransporter Adhesins (TAA; proteins found on the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria .
-
- The bacterium contains a surface protein, filamentous haemagglutinin adhesin, which binds to the sulfatides found on the cilia of epithelial cells.
-
- Pathogenicity islands carry genes encoding one or more virulence factors, including, but not limited to, adhesins, toxins, or invasins.
-
- Y. pestis expresses the yadBC gene, which is similar to adhesins in other Yersinia species, allowing for adherence and invasion of epithelial cells.
