This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: blanks_Adhere, examples Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, description, examples Type IV pili enable a twitching motility. Extension and retraction of these pili allows the bacterium to drag itself along a solid surface., Autoinducer/receptor complexes are able to bind to DNA promoters and activate the transcription of quorum sensing-controlled genes. benefit Individual bacteria within a group are able to benefit from the activity of the entire group., mechanisms, examples Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus species, functions, functions adhere to environmental surfaces and resist flushing, functions live in close association and communicate with other bacteria in the biofilm, The ability to adhere to host cells and resist physical removal often a result of, The production, release, and community-wide sensing of molecules called autoinducers that modulate gene expression in response to the density of a bacterial population. process, definition The production, release, and community-wide sensing of molecules called autoinducers that modulate gene expression in response to the density of a bacterial population., mechanisms, functions Type IV pili enable a twitching motility. Extension and retraction of these pili allows the bacterium to drag itself along a solid surface., mechanisms, then Autoinducer/receptor complexes are able to bind to DNA promoters and activate the transcription of quorum sensing-controlled genes., functions resist attack by antibiotics, The ability to adhere to host cells and resist physical removal advantage, functions, functions resist phagocytosis and attack by the body's complement pathways.
