Abstract excerpt
Fimbrial adhesins and hemolysins contribute to pathogenicity of extraintestinal Escherichia coli isolates causing urinary tract infections (UTI), sepsis and new born meningitis (NBM). Using gene cloning techniques and pulse field electrophoresis in combination with Southern hybridizations it was demonstrated that the genetic determinants coding for P and 'P-related' fimbrial adhesins and hemolysins are closely...
