Family of<i>Escherichia coli</i>Dr Adhesins: Decay‐Accelerating Factor Receptor Recognition and Invasiveness

Abstract excerpt

In 1984, Väisänen-Rhen [1] and Labigne-Roussel et al. [2] described a novel Escherichia coli adhesin of unknown receptor specificity. Due to its association with uropathogenic strains of serotype O75 and because of the unknown receptor, the adhesin was named O75X [1]. Between 1984 and 1989, 3 groups independently cloned novel adhesins that were later found to have very similar genetic organization: The clones...
