Bacterial adhesins: common themes and variations in architecture and assembly

Among the earliest events in many bacterial infections are the molecular interactions that occur between the pathogen and host cells. Soto and Hultgren discuss the molecular architecture of the adhesive organelles assembled by four principal pathways and the coordinated functions of the proteins tha...

Description
Summary:Among the earliest events in many bacterial infections are the molecular interactions that occur between the pathogen and host cells. Soto and Hultgren discuss the molecular architecture of the adhesive organelles assembled by four principal pathways and the coordinated functions of the proteins that constitute their assembly machineries.
