The Hypervariable Region of Meningococcal Major Pilin PilE Controls the Host Cell Response via Antigenic Variation
ABSTRACT Type IV pili (Tfp) are expressed by many Gram-negative bacteria to promote aggregation, adhesion, internalization, twitching motility, or natural transformation. Tfp of Neisseria meningitidis, the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis, are involved in the colonization of human nasopha...
