Saf pili and biofilm formation / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

As appendages surfacing on bacterium, pili play key roles in host cell adhesion and biofilm formation. The present paper introduces the latest structural and functional studies of Salmonella atypical pili Saf and uncovers the mechanism of Saf pili driven biofilm formation, which provides new strategy to target bacterial biofilm related antibiotic resistance.
