Type IV pili (T4P) are long retracting extracellular bacterial filaments that allow motility and orientation over surfaces. In Xanthomonas species, a genus with notorious phytopathogenic members, T4P were associated with biofilm formation, adhesion, and virulence processes. The Xanthomonas T4P secretion machinery is a large protein complex that crosses the cell's membranes, by which pilus…
Research with bacteriophages (phages) has opened up promising perspectives for their use as antimicrobials for controlling plant, animal, and human diseases, being of special interest in an era of rising antibiotic resistance. Understanding how a phage recognizes a bacterial cell and begins the infection process is important for addressing some major challenges for these applications, par…
