Isopeptide Bonds Block the Mechanical Extension of Pili in Pathogenic Streptococcus pyogenes

In the early stages of an infection, pathogenic bacteria use long fibrous structures known as pili as adhesive anchors for attachment to the host cells. These structures also play key roles in colony and biofilm formation. In all those processes, pili must withstand large mechanical forces. The pili...
