Scant information is available regarding fimbrillins within the genus , with the notable exception of those belonging to , which have been extensively researched for several years. Besides and , a third adhesin called filament-forming protein 1 (Ffp1) has recently been described and seems to be pivotal for outer membrane vesicle (OMV) production. We aimed to investigate the distribution and diversity of type V fimbrillin, particularly Ffp1, in the genus .

It is mediated by tmRNA, a hybrid RNA with properties of both a tRNA and a mRNA, and the small protein SmpB. Because -translation is absent in eukaryotes but necessary for bacterial fitness or survival, it is a promising target for the development of novel antibiotics.

The perception cues from biotic or abiotic environments by the bacteria are often related to bacterial surface and membrane proteins that mediate the cellular response for the adaptation of to the environment. These proteins function rarely as a unique entity, they are often organized in functional complexes.
