Fimbrial types among respiratory isolates belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Sept 1991

Hornick D B, Allen B L, Horn M A, Clegg S

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial attachment is believed to be an early step in gram-negative nosocomial pneumonia. The frequency of fimbria-associated adhesins among respiratory pathogens has not been studied in detail. In this study isolates belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae, prospectively obtained from intensive care unit patients who were suspected of having nosocomial pneumonia, were examined for fimbria-associated...
