Which of the following statements about adherence is true? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following statements about adherence is true? Most bacterial adhesins are glycoproteins or lipoproteins. The host cell receptors for bacterial adhesins are usually proteins. Adhesins are always located on the bacterium's cell membrane. Most bacteria can adhere to any cell in the host.
Most bacterial adhesins are glycoproteins or lipoproteins.
Explanation:
Bacterial adhesins are cell surface or cell membrane structure which is resposible for adherence of bacterial surface with other cells surface. These are mostly made up of glycoproteins or lipoproteins. Adhesins are considered as virulence factor of bacteria because they are involve in the pathogenesis or causing infection into host by attaching to host cells.
