Abstract excerpt
The relationship between type 1 pilus structure and the mannose-sensitive adhesin was investigated by analysing the properties of an 11.2 kb fragment of DNA derived from the chromosomal pil region of a type 1 piliated uropathogenic strain of Escherichia coli. The recombinant plasmids pHA9 and pSJH9, containing the cloned fragment, conferred a mannose-sensitive haemagglutination (MSHA)-positive but non-piliated...
