Abstract excerpt
Curli are adhesive surface structures produced by some Escherichia coli and Salmonella strains that bind host proteins and activate inflammatory mediators. In this study, 61 E. coli isolates from 36 clinical cases of bovine mastitis were characterized using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-PCR and screened for their ability to produce curli. Effect of curli production on case recovery, based on a...
