Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa binds to human respiratory mucins by mechanisms involving flagellar component-receptor interactions. The adhesion of P. aeruginosa strain PAK is mediated by the flagellar cap protein, FliD, without the involvement of flagellin. Two distinct types of FliD proteins have been identified in P. aeruginosa: A type, found in strain PAK, and B type, found in strain PAO1. In the present work,...
