Functional role of the type 1 pilus rod structure in mediating host-pathogen interactions

Functional role of the type 1 pilus rod structure in mediating host-pathogen interactions

Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC), which cause urinary tract infections (UTI), utilize type 1 pili, a chaperone usher pathway (CUP) pilus, to cause UTI and colonize the gut.
