P fimbriae

P fimbriae are chaperone-usher type fimbrial appendages found on the surface of many Escherichia coli bacteria. The P fimbriae is considered to be one of the most important virulence factor in uropathogenic E. coli and plays an important role in upper urinary tract infections. P fimbriae mediate adherence to host cells, a key event in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections.
