What is the difference between a fimbrial adhesin and a non-fimbrial adhesin? correct answers Fimbrial adhesins are located at a scaffold-like structure (pilus or fibria) while afribrial adhesins are anchored directly in bacterial membrane. The E. coli P pilus is attached to the outer membrane and consists of several proteins. What is the role of the PapH protein? correct answers PapH is the anchor subunit in the outer membrane; it anchors the major pilus subunit to the outer membrane What...
