    • Adhesion pili

      • Escherichia coli bacterial cells produce multiple types of adhesion pili that mediate cell-cell and cell-host attachments. These pili (also called 'fimbriae') are large biopolymers that are comprised of subunits assembled via a sophisticated micro-machinery into helix-like structures that are anchored in the bacterial outer membrane.

  2. Oct 25, 2013 · The results show that not only pathogenic but also probiotic E. coli possess adhesive flagella, and further studies are required to reveal the prevalence and biological significance of flagellum-mediated direct adhesion to host cell surfaces.

  3. Sep 14, 2018 · Zhao et al. 1 examined the formation of flagella in Escherichia coli, which are used by these bacteria to swim towards nutrients, and in a separate study, Ellison et al. 2 observed the dynamics...

  4. Sep 8, 2015 · Flagellin, also known as H-antigen (FliC protein, encoded by fliC gene in E. coli), is a major surface antigen for E. coli serotyping (Nataro and Kaper 1998). Fifty-three H-antigens are recognized while a designation of NM (H−) indicates the absence of flagellin (Orskov and Orskov 1984 ).

  6. Sep 21, 2021 · As noted above, whether an E. coli cell runs or tumbles depends on the direction of rotation of its flagella. Hence, the biochemical circuitry that determines motile behaviour controls the ...
