Abstract excerpt
Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that produce type IVa pili categorized as group I have the potential to covalently attach an O-antigen repeating unit to the pilin C-terminal residue. PCR, employing primers targeting a conserved region of a group-I-specific gene, was used to provide evidence that 110 of 206 clinical isolates studied had the capability of producing this type of pilus. The potential of P....
