Fimbriate

  • (v. t.) To hem; to fringe.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) As described previously, fimbriated H. influenzae variants adhered to a greater extent than nonfimbriated variants to human buccal epithelial cells (2.1 and 0.29 bacteria per cell, respectively, as determined by the radioactive assay [P less than 0.05]; 7.6 and 1.6 bacteria per cell, respectively, as determined by the immunofluorescent assay [P less than 0.01]).
  • (6) Also all these drugs with the same sub MICs alter the haemagglutination titre and inhibit the fimbriation process of the uropathogenic E. coli.

Fimbricate


Definition:

  • (a.) Fringed; jagged; fimbriate.
