" /> adhesins, bacterial - CISMeF





Preferred Label : adhesins, bacterial;

MeSH definition : Cell-surface components or appendages of bacteria that facilitate adhesion (BACTERIAL ADHESION) to other cells or to inanimate surfaces. Most fimbriae (FIMBRIAE, BACTERIAL) of gram-negative bacteria function as adhesins, but in many cases it is a minor subunit protein at the tip of the fimbriae that is the actual adhesin. In gram-positive bacteria, a protein or polysaccharide surface layer serves as the specific adhesin. What is sometimes called polymeric adhesin (BIOFILMS) is distinct from protein adhesin.;

MeSH synonym : bacterial adhesin; adhesin, bacterial; bacterial adhesins;

MeSH hyponym : fimbrial adhesins; Adhesins, Fimbrial;

MeSH annotation : coordinate IM with specific bacterium (IM) but note that ADHESINS, ESCHERICHIA COLI is available; do not confuse with BACTERIAL ADHESION; do not confuse with BIOFILMS; DF: ADHESINS BACT;; coordinate IM with specific bacterium (IM) but note that ADHESINS, ESCHERICHIA COLI is available; do not confuse with BACTERIAL ADHESION; do not confuse with BIOFILMS;
