Abstract excerpt
Three allelic variants of P-pilus-associated G-adhesins (lectins) with different cell-binding properties were recently described. Here we have analyzed Escherichia coli HB101 strains expressing the recombinant G-adhesin variants for their ability to agglutinate erythrocytes from various species a...
