Nanoscale Adhesion Forces of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type IV Pili

[Image: see text] A variety of bacterial pathogens use nanoscale protein fibers called type IV pili to mediate cell adhesion, a primary step leading to infection. Currently, how these nanofibers respond to mechanical stimuli and how this response is used to control adhesion is poorly understood. Her...
