Can cell membrane mannose be used for adherence?
Yes it can. In fact, this is specifically the target of Type 1 Fimbriae. Many pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae posses this kind of Fimbriae as a virulence factor. These Fimbriae contain receptor domains similar to the MBL (Mannose Binding Lectin) present in blood plasma. The difference is that the human MBL recognizes the pathogen's Mannose residues and can initiate the MB-Lectin pathway, activating the complement cascade. This leads to pathogen opsonization. Cheers.
Which cell structure has a role in the initiation of disease?
Fimbriae. they can help bacteria adhere
Short appendages used by some bacterial cells for adhering to surfaces called?
fimbriae
What are the differences between bacterial fimbriae and flagella?
fimbriae and pili both are surface structure of bacteria but fimbriae are always found much in number having 3to25 nm diameter and 0.5 to 20 micrometer in length.whereas pili are always found less in no generally 2 or more .fimbriae are specialized for attachment of bacteria to its host as in case of pathogenic bacteria salmonella typhimurium , Nisseria gonorrhoea , bordella pertussis.whereas pili are responsible for sexduction (conjugation) in bacteria ,and serves as receptors for certain viruses.both fimbriae and pili are divided in many classes according to work they perform such as twiching motility of bacteria is observed in type 4 class..besides these both are always noticed in gram (-) bacteria only exception cornibacterium renale (gram+).
What is the function of cilia in a bacteria cell?
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.

Does streptococcus pneumoniae have fimbriae?
Frimbriae are structures related to Gram-negative bacteria. S. Pneumoniae, however, is Gram-positive. Therefore it does not have fimbriae.
