The Biomechanical Properties of E. coli Pili for Urinary Tract Attachment Reflect the Host Environment

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli express pili that mediate binding to host tissue cells. We demonstrate with in situ force measuring optical tweezers that the ability of P and type 1 pili to elongate by unfolding under exposure to stress is a shared property with some differences. The unfolding force...
