Abstract excerpt
Plasmid-encoded fimbriae (Pef) expressed by Salmonella typhimurium mediate adhesion to mouse intestinal epithelium. The pef operon shares features with the Escherichia coli pyelonephritis-associated pilus (pap) operon, which is under methylation-dependent transcriptional regulation. These features include conserved DNA GATC box sites in the upstream regulatory region as well as homologues of the PapI and PapB...
