Molecular variation among type IV pilin (bfpA) genes from diverse enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains.

Infection and immunity - 1 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

Typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains produce bundle-forming pili (BFP), type IVB fimbriae that have been implicated in EPEC virulence, antigenicity, autoaggregation, and localized adherence to epithelial cells (LA). BFP are polymers of bundlin, a pilin protein that is encoded by the bfpA gene found on a large EPEC plasmid. Striking sequence variation has previously been observed among type IV...
