Structural Basis of Host Cell Recognition by the Pilus Adhesin from Streptococcus pneumoniae

Pili are fibrous virulence factors associated directly to the bacterial surface that play critical roles in adhesion and recognition of host cell receptors. The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae carries a single pilus-related adhesin (RrgA) that is key for infection establishment and provides...
