Bacterial Virulence Factors for Adhesion
An adhesin is a protein or glycoprotein found on the surface of a pathogen that attaches to receptors on the host cell. There are multiple virulence factors that aid in adhesion:
- Protein F
- Adhesin P1
- Type IV pili
- Type 1 fimbriae
- N-methylphenylalanine pili
