mednews.wustl.edu - "Bacterial target may be ideal for new drug treatments," by Michael Purdy. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine are using what they've learned about how E. coli assembles a pilus — a sticky fiber that allows the bacterium to latch onto and infect host cells — to begin designing pilicides, new treatments that stop pili construction and disrupt the infection process.February 2004
