| Abstract |
Pili of Gram-positive bacteria are unique structures on the bacterial surface, assembled from covalently linked polypeptide subunits. Pilus assembly proceeds by transpeptidation reactions catalyzed by sortases, followed by covalent anchoring of the filament in the peptidoglycan layer. Another distinctive property is the presence of intramolecular isopeptide bonds, conferring extraordinary chemical and mechanical stability to these elongated structures. Besides their function in cell adhesion and biofilm formation, this section discusses possible application of pilus constituents as vaccine components against Gram-positive pathogens. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 February 2016.
All research outputs
#23,196,437
of 25,837,817 outputs
Outputs from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#636
of 711 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#348,223
of 403,921 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current topics in microbiology and immunology
#46
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,837,817 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 711 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 403,921 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
