Characterization of the second long polar (LP) fimbriae of O157:H7 and distribution of LP fimbriae in other pathogenic strains
17 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
A second region containing five genes homologous to the long polar fimbrial operon of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is located in the chromosome of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7. A non-fimbriated E. coli K-12 strain carrying the cloned EHEC lpf (lpf2) genes expressed thin fibrillae-like structures on its surface and displayed reduced adherence to tissue culture cells. Neither...
