Genetic analysis and morphological identification of pilus-like structures in members of the genus <it>Bifidobacterium</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cell surface pili in Gram positive bacteria have been reported to orchestrate the colonization of host tissues, evasion of immunity and the development of biofilms. So far, little if any information is available on the presence of pi...
