Autotransporter-Encoding Sequences Are Phylogenetically Distributed among<i>Escherichia coli</i>Clinical Isolates and Reference Strains
13 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Autotransporters are secreted bacterial proteins exhibiting diverse virulence functions. Various autotransporters have been identified among Escherichia coli associated with intestinal or extraintestinal infections; however, the specific distribution of autotransporter sequences among a diversity of E. coli strains has not been investigated. We have validated the use of a multiplex PCR assay to screen for the...
