Modulating bacterial and gut mucosal interactions with engineered biofilm matrix proteins
Abstract Extracellular appendages play a significant role in mediating communication between bacteria and their host. Curli fibers are a class of bacterial fimbria that is highly amenable to engineering. We demonstrate the use of engineered curli fibers to rationally program interactions between bac...
