Type 2 fimbria

Molecular classification
Proteinaceous bacterial surface appendage, Adhesin, Pili, Fimbriae, Chaperone-usher pathway structure
01

Overview

A proteinaceous appendage found on some bacteria, mediating host and interspecies adhesion, essential for colonization, biofilm formation, and virulence in various microbial pathogens[1][2][4]. Not a therapeutic target in the conventional sense.
