Abstract excerpt
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, one of the most important porcine respiratory pathogens, exhibits tight adherence to cell surfaces. The Flp pilus, which is assembled by the proteins encoded by the flp (fimbrial low-molecular-weight protein) operon, may play an important role in the bacterial adherence. In this study, the flp operons of twelve A. pleuropneumoniae serotype reference strains were sequenced and...
