Abstract excerpt
Coli surface antigen 6, CS6, is one of the most prevalent colonization factors (CFs) associated with Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) bacteria, the most common cause of diarrhea among infants and children in developing countries. The CS6 operon encodes two structural subunit proteins, CssA and CssB, a chaperon, CssC, and an usher, CssD. Since little is known about the relationship of the genes and their...
