Type 1 and P pili of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.
View through CrossRef
AbstractIn uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), type 1 pili (T1P) and P pili enable the bacterium to bind to host epithelial cells within the urinary tract, which can lead to a urinary tract infection. This chapter reviews the genetics, structure and functions of UPEC T1P and P pili. It also describes the mechanisms by which T1P and P pili contribute to UPEC pathogenesis and host immune response.
