Crash landing of Vibrio cholerae by MSHA pili-assisted braking and anchoring in a viscoelastic environment
Mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) pili and flagellum are critical for the surface attachment of Vibrio cholerae, the first step of V. cholerae colonization on host surfaces. However, the cell landing mechanism remains largely unknown, particularly in viscoelastic environments such as the mucus...
