Genetic analysis of 987P adhesion and fimbriation of Escherichia coli: the fas genes link both phenotypes.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 1991

Schifferli D M, Beachey E H, Taylor R K

Abstract excerpt

The 987P fimbrial gene cluster has recently been shown to contain eight genes (fasA to fasH) clustered on large plasmids of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and adjacent to a Tn1681-like transposon encoding the heat-stable enterotoxin STIa. Different genetic approaches were used to study the relationship between 987P fimbriation and adhesion. TnphoA mutagenesis, complementation assays, and T7 RNA...
