Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains that carry the EPEC adherence factor (EAF) plasmid were screened for the presence of different EAF sequences, including those of the plasmid-encoded regulator (per). Considerable variation in gene content of EAF plasmids from different strains was seen. However, bfpA, the gene encoding the structural subunit for the bundle-forming pilus, bundlin, and per genes were...
