Discovery of Bacterial Fimbria–Glycan Interactions Using Whole-Cell Recombinant Escherichia coli Expression

Chaperone-usher (CU) fimbriae are the most abundant Gram-negative bacterial fimbriae, with 38 distinct CU fimbria types described in Escherichia coli alone. Some E. coli CU fimbriae have been well characterized and bind to specific glycan targets to confer tissue tropism. For example, type 1 fimbria...
