The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Complicated Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections Due to Escherichia coli and Proteus mirabilis (2008, background): “Research into the roles of S and P pili (241) during bacterial invasion of epithelial cells has not been studied in depth.”
Establishment of a Persistent Escherichia coli Reservoir during the Acute Phase of a Bladder Infection (2001, methodology): “yses of mouse bladders have been previously described (27, 29).”
Bacterial Biofilms: Development, Dispersal, and Therapeutic Strategies in the Dawn of the Postantibiotic Era (2013, background): “coli pathotypes rely heavily on type 1 pili (Mulvey et al. 1998; Pratt and Kolter 1998; Martinez et al. 2000; Hung et al. 2002; Anderson et al. 2003; Beloin et al. 2008), which are multisubunit adhesive organelles assembled by the chaperone usher pathway (CUP) (Waksman and Hultgren 2009).”
The biology and future prospects of antivirulence therapies (2008, background): “These are required to bind mannose-containing host receptors, invade host bladder-epithelial (urothelial) cell”
