Abstract excerpt
Salmonella serovars were examined for the presence of fim gene sequences using specific DNA probes. All strains, regardless of their ability to express surface-associated fimbriae, retain a considerable amount of DNA homologous to the gene probes used. The phenotypically nonfimbriae FIRN and non-FIRN strains of S. typhimurium retain detectable amounts of fim gene sequences and, therefore, may not be genotypically...
