'''Adhesins''' (Adh) are surface components of bacteria which facillitate adhesion to surfaces or other cells. Adh are specific surface recognition protein and are regarded as virulence factors.<ref>PMID:11043979</ref> For trimeric autotransporter adhesin see [[EibD]]. | '''Adhesins''' (Adh) are surface components of bacteria which facillitate adhesion to surfaces or other cells. Adh are specific surface recognition protein and are regarded as virulence factors.<ref>PMID:11043979</ref> '''FimH''' is the ''E. coli'' adhesin which is part of the type 1 pili of the bacteria. The pili is composed of subunits '''FimF, FimG''' and '''FimD'''<ref>PMID:18369105</ref>. The main Adhesins of the pathogen ''Mycoplasma genitalium'' are '''P110''' or '''Mgp-operon protein 3''' and '''P140'''<ref>PMID:30367053</ref>.
