Abstract excerpt
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains remain a formidable cause of diarrheal disease. To identify novel surface proteins of ETEC, we performed TnphoA mutagenesis of prototype ETEC strain H10407 and discovered a secreted protein not previously recognized in ETEC. DNA sequencing of the interrupted locus in mutant TnphoA.977 revealed a candidate 4,095-bp open reading frame without significant homology to...
