DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-7033-9_25
Abstract: Pili are widespread among bacteria. Type IVa pili (T4aP) are associated with a variety of bacterial functions, including adhesion, motility, natural transformation, biofilm formation, and force-dependent signaling. In pathogenic bacteria, T4aP play a crucial role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2020.735800
Abstract: Abstract Aeromonas schubertii is associated with multi-organ necrosis disease that frequently infects cultured snakehead fish. We examined whether type IV pili were important in the pathogenicity of A. schubertii. A Tap pilus mutant (Δpili) was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tim.2020.02.003
Abstract: Cell-surface-located proteinaceous appendages, such as flagella and fimbriae or pili, are ubiquitous in bacterial communities. Here, we focus on conserved type IV pili (T4P) produced by bacteria in the intestinal tract, one of the most… read more here.

Type IV pili: dynamics, biophysics and functional consequences
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Nature Reviews Microbiology"
DOI: 10.1038/s41579-019-0195-4
Abstract: The surfaces of many bacteria are decorated with long, exquisitely thin appendages called type IV pili (T4P), dynamic filaments that are rapidly polymerized and depolymerized from a pool of pilin subunits. Cycles of pilus extension,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216237120
Abstract: Significance Type 4 pili (T4P)—important in bacterial pathogens—are filaments composed of one well-characterized major pilin, and several minor pilins whose roles are often poorly understood. Streptococcus sanguinis T4P are composed of five pilins, which makes… read more here.

The Power of Touch: Type 4 Pili, the von Willebrand A Domain, and Surface Sensing by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Bacteriology"
DOI: 10.1128/jb.00084-22
Abstract: Most microbes in the biosphere are attached to surfaces, where they experience mechanical forces due to hydrodynamic flow and cell-to-substratum interactions. These forces likely serve as mechanical cues that influence bacterial physiology and eventually drive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jb.00746-18
Abstract: Bacterial zoospores are interesting cells in that their physiological state changes dynamically: they are dormant in sporangia, show temporary mobility after awakening, and finally stop swimming to germinate in niches for vegetative growth. However, the… read more here.
