Question

Which of the following is not a structure used for bacterial adhesion?
A) Fimbriae
B) Surface proteins
C) Specialized receptors
D) Adhesive slime or capsules
E) Cilia

Cilia are not used by bacteria for adhesion; they are primarily found in eukaryotic cells, such as those of animals, and are used for movement or sensing their environment. Bacteria typically use structures like fimbriae, surface proteins, specialized receptors, and adhesive slime or capsules for adhesion.
