name: virion attachment to host cell pilus
namespace: biological_process
def: "The process by which a virion attaches to a host cell by binding to a pilus on the host cell surface. Pili are retractile filaments that protrude from gram-negative bacteria. Filamentous viruses can attach to the pilus tip, whereas icosahedral viruses can attach to the pilus side." [UniProtKB-KW:KW-1175, VZ:981]
