Abstract excerpt
Recent work has demonstrated that expression of type 1 fimbriae is repressed by PapB, a regulator of pyelonephritis-associated pili (P-pili). PapB belongs to family of related adhesin regulators, for which consensus residues required for DNA binding and oligomerization have been identified. Of the regulators tested in this study, PapB, SfaB (S-fimbriae) and PefB (Salmonella enterica serovar...
