Abstract excerpt

Bundle-forming pili (BFP) promote the adherence of typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) to human intestinal epithelial cells. BFP are polymers of bundlin and nine bundlin alleles have been identified in EPEC isolated from diverse sources. These alleles are divided into two main groups, alpha and beta, based on their amino acid sequences. Alpha bundlins are also N-acetyllactosamine- (LacNAc) specific...
