Abstract excerpt
Flagellar (H) antigens are mostly encoded by genes at the fliC locus in E. coli. We have sequenced 11 H7 fliC genes from Escherichia coli strains that belong to seven O serotypes. These sequences, together with those of nine other H7 fliC genes (from strains of three different O serotypes) sequenced recently (S. D. Reid, R. K. Selander, and T. S. Whittam, J. Bacteriol. 181:153-160, 1999), include 10 different...
