Inability to express fimbriae results in impaired ability of Haemophilus influenzae b to colonize the nasopharynx

1 Dec 1991

Abstract excerpt

We cloned into the structural fimbrial subunit gene from a fimbriated Haemophilus influenzae b a 1.5-kb kanamycin resistance gene. The resultant strain (RKAW5) was tested by Southern analysis, hemagglutination, and electron-micrographic examination to confirm gene inactivation. In comparison with the parent, RKAW5 exhibited a significant decrease in adherence to human buccal epithelial cells and in nasal...
