The first step in the bacterial colonization and infection of uropathogenic Escherichia coli is adherence to uroepithelium. Over 80% of all urinary tract infections are caused by E coli. Uropathogenic E coli express several adherence factors including type 1 and P fimbriae, which mediate attachment to the uroepithelium through specific binding to different glycoconjugate receptors. We showed that P and type 1 fimbriae are not the sole adhesins on uropathogenic E coli and sialic acid also mediates nonspecific bacterial adherence of uropathogenic E coli and urinary bladder epithelium.
