Adhesins from pathogenic bacteria are essential molecules to initiate the infection process, as they allow the bacterium to adhere to the surface of the host cell. Therefore, understanding how they work could facilitate the development of antibacterial drugs with a different mechanism of action than antibiotics, thus allowing the fight against resistant bacteria. These studies could also provide clues to combat viral infections, as the cellular adhesion mechanism of some viruses bears significant similarities to that of bacteria.
