Impairment of the biomechanical compliance of P pili: a novel means of inhibiting uropathogenic bacterial infections?
Gram-negative bacteria often initiate their colonization by use of extended attachment organelles, so called pili. When exposed to force, the rod of helix-like pili has been found to be highly extendable, mainly attributed to uncoiling and recoiling of its quaternary structure. This provides the bac...
