Ebp pili
(Endocarditis- and biofilm-associated pilus) |
 |
Ebp pili comprise one to three structural subunits. One major pilin, EbpC forms the fiber backbone. The remaining minor or ancillary structural subunits, EbpA at the tip and EbpB at the base of an EbpC polymer. ... |

AAFs
(Aggregative adherence fimbriae) |
|
Belongs to Dr family of adhesins. At least four allelic variants of AAFs exist, but each is present in only a minority of strains. Most EAEC strains harbor a 60 to 65-MDa plasmid that may encode the AAF/I or AAF/II and , in some cases, the enterotoxin EAST1 and Pet. ... |

| Adhesive fimbriae |
|
Adherence is mediated by proteinaceous surface structures that are referred to as colonization factors (CFs), colonization factor antigens (CFAs), coli surface antigens (CSAs), or putative colonization factors (PCFs). ETEC strains are host-specific. The CFs confer host specificity on the strain. In human-specific ETEC strains, 21 different CFs have been identified. Approximately 75% of human ETEC express either CFA/I, CFA/II or CFA/IV. Animal-specific ETEC strains produce a variety of CFs that are distinct from those produced by human-specific isolates, such as K88 and K99. ETEC strains typically possess multiple plasmids with a wide range of molecular masses. The genes encoding CFs generally are found on a plasmid that also encodes ST and/or LT. ... |
