Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Virulence Factor Bundle-Forming Pilus Has a Binding Specificity for Phosphatidylethanolamine

Khursigara, C., Abul-Milh, M., Lau, B., Girón, J. A., Lingwood, C. A., Foster, D. E. Barnett

The bundle-forming pilus (BFP) of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), an established virulence factor encoded on the EPEC adherence factor (EAF) plasmid, has been implicated in the formation of...

Prevalence and association of the longus pilus structural gene (lngA) with colonization factor antigens, enterotoxin types, and serotypes of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

Girón, J A, Viboud, G I, Sperandio, V, Gómez-Duarte, O G, Maneval, D R, Albert, M J, ...

Human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) produces a plasmid-encoded type IV pilus termed longus (for long pilus). Regardless of the geographic origins of ETEC strains, the longus structural gene...

The OmpU outer membrane protein, a potential adherence factor of Vibrio cholerae.

Sperandio, V, Girón, J A, Silveira, W D, Kaper, J B

Expression of the OmpU outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae is positively regulated by toxR, which also regulates critical virulence factors such as cholera toxin and the toxin-coregulated pilus...

Monoclonal antibodies specific for the bundle-forming pilus of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Girón, J A, Qadri, F, Azim, T, Jarvis, K J, Kaper, J B, Albert, M J

The bundle-forming pilus (BFP) produced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is associated with the presence of a large EPEC adherence factor plasmid and the formation of localized adherence...

Adherence, fibronectin binding, and induction of cytoskeleton reorganization in cultured human cells by Mycoplasma penetrans.

Girón, J A, Lange, M, Baseman, J B

Mycoplasma penetrans adhered to cultured human cells, forming clusters that localized to specific areas of the host cell surface. Adherence and cluster formation were inhibited by anti-M. penetrans...

Cloning and characterization of the gene encoding the OmpU outer membrane protein of Vibrio cholerae.

Sperandio, V, Bailey, C, Girón, J A, DiRita, V J, Silveira, W D, Vettore, A L, ...

The OmpU outer membrane protein is a member of the ToxR regulon of Vibrio cholerae and has recently been shown to be a potential adherence factor for this species. Using PCR and degenerate...

Characterization of fimbriae produced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Girón, J A, Ho, A S, Schoolnik, G K

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) express rope-like bundles of filaments, termed bundle-forming pili (BFP) (J. A. Girón, A. S. Y. Ho, and G. K. Schoolnik, Science 254:710-713, 1991)....
