COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF Ebp PILUS-RELATED DISEASES
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods useful in the treatment and prevention of EbpA-associated infections, namely, methods useful for compositions comprising EbpAs and methods of use thereof.

The Chaperone-Usher Pathway of Pilus Fiber Biogenesis
TL;DR: This work suggests that while the chaperone primes the subunit for donor strand exchange, additional interactions with the usher may facilitate subunit uncapping during fiber formation, which is a contributing factor both to the establishment of infection and to bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment.
