Types: Two general types of Pili are known they are: Sex pili and Common pili. Medical Importance of Fimbriae or Pili. 1  Common pili (Adhesins): They mediate the attachment of bacteria to specific receptors on the human cell surface, which is the first step in establishing infection in some organisms.2  Example: Mutants of Neisseria gonorrhoeae that do not form pili are nonpathogen. Example: Mutants of Neisseria gonorrhoeae that do not form pili are nonpathogen. 2  Sex pili (conjugation tube): It is a specialized kind of pili that forms the attachment between male (donor) and the female (recipient) bacteria during conjugation and acts as a conduit for the passage of DNA.
Pili. The first external structure is the pilus (plural: pili). A pilus is a thin, rigid fiber made of protein that protrudes from the cell surface. The primary function of pili are to attach a bacterial cell to specific surfaces or to other cells.ne important note on fimbriae: there are some microbiologists that use the terms pili and fimbriae interchangeably. Both structures are similar and perform similar functions, blurring the distinction between the two.
