Biological properties of two distinct pilus types produced by isogenic variants of Neisseria gonorrhoeae P9

P R Lambden et al. J Bacteriol. 1980 Jan.

Abstract

Isogenic variants from a single strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were shown to produce two distinct types of pili. These pili, designated alpha and beta, differed in both subunit molecular weight and in ability to attach to buccal epithelial cells.
