Host-pathogen interaction is one of the most important areas of study to understand the adhesion of the pathogen to the host organisms. To adhere on the host cell surface, bacteria assemble the diverse adhesive structures on its surface, which play a foremost role in targeting to the host cell. We have highlighted different bacterial adhesins which are either protein mediated or glycan mediated. The present article listed examples of different bacterial adhesin proteins involved in the interactions with their host, types and subtypes of the fimbriae and non-fimbriae bacterial adhesins. Different bacterial surface adhesin subunits interact with host via different host surface biomolecules. We have also discussed the interactome of some of the pathogens with their host. Therefore, the present study will help researchers to have a detailed understanding of different interacting bacterial adhesins and henceforth, develop new therapies, adhesin specific antibodies and vaccines, which can effectively control pathogenicity of the pathogens.
