The frequency of fim genes among Salmonella serovars.
Microbial pathogenesis - 1 Jun 1991
Swenson D L, Clegg S, Old D C
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-...
