Type 1 fimbriae produced by serovars of Salmonella are characterized by their ability to agglutinate guinea pig erythrocytes in the absence of d-mannose but not in its presence. The FimH protein is the adhesin that mediates this reaction; it is distinct from the major fimbrial protei.n (FimA) that composes the fimbrial shaft. Avian-adapted serovars of Salmonella produce non-haemagglutinating fimbriae that have...
