Abstract excerpt
Expression of specific adhesive properties by bacteria in general seems to be regulated to fit the environmental conditions. An example is the transcriptional regulation of digalactoside-specific binding by uropathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. The fimbrial structures (pili) on the bacterial surface carry the adhesin and are present during growth at 37 degrees C but are not produced by cells at lower...
