Amino acid residue Ala-62 in the FimH fimbrial adhesin is critical for the adhesiveness of meningitis-associated Escherichia coli to collagens.

Abstract excerpt

Adhesion of meningitis-associated Escherichia coli O18acK1H7 to collagens was characterized. The E. coli strain IHE 3034 adhered to type IV and type I collagens but not to type III collagen immobilized on glass. Collagens lack terminal mannosyl units, yet the bacterial adhesion was completely abolished in the presence of alpha-methyl-D-mannoside. A cat cassette was introduced into the filmA gene of IHE 3034, and...
