The Functional Amyloid Curli Protects Escherichia coli against Complement-Mediated Bactericidal Activity
Escherichia coli strains may be beneficial or pathogenic. Many E. coli strains that cause human disease, especially those responsible for bacteremia and sepsis, express virulence factors that impart resistance to the complement system. The bacterial amyloid curli functions in bacterial adherence and...
