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.

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 ).
