Adherence of capsulate Neisseria meningitidis to endothelial and epithelial cells is facilitated in variants that express pill. Whereas piliated variants of N. meningitidis strain C311 adhered to endothelial cells in large numbers (>150 bacteria/cell), derivatives containing specific mutations that disrupt pilE encoding the pilin subunit were both non-piliated and failed to adhere to endothelial cells (
