Role of sortase-assembled Ebp pili in Enterococcus faecalis adhesion to iron oxides and its impact on extracellular electron transfer by Foo Kiong Ho, Ling Ning Lam, Artur Matysik, Thomas Dean Watts, Jun Jie Wong, Kelvin Kian Long Chong, Pei Yi Choo, Joe Tolar, Pui Man Low, Zhi Sheng Chua, Jason J. Paxman, Begoña Heras, Enrico Marsili, Caroline M. Ajo-Franklin, Kimberly A. Kline

“…Along with our findings that E. faecalis EET can be coupled to anaerobic cell growth, our results point to a potential ecological role of Ebp pili in natural environments, outside of its established function in adhesion to host ligands. We provide the first evidence of the contribution of EET to E. faecalis colonization of the antibiotic-treated murine intestinal niche, which adds to the limited experimental evidence linking EET and microbial pathogenesis, as well as highlights the need for further studies of EET in bacterial pathogens.…”
