Distribution of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> Common Pilus among Diverse Strains of Human Enterotoxigenic <i>E. coli</i>

9 Apr 2009

Abstract excerpt

The Escherichia coli common pilus (ECP) is produced by commensal and pathogenic E. coli strains. This pilus is unrelated to any of the known colonization factors (CFs) of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). In this study, we investigated the distribution and production of ECP among a collection of 136 human CF-positive and CF-negative ETEC strains of different geographic origins. The major pilus subunit gene, ecpA,...
