dra-related X adhesins of gestational pyelonephritis-associated Escherichia coli recognize SCR-3 and SCR-4 domains of recombinant decay-accelerating factor
1 May 1995

Bacterial adhesins are important virulence factors that allow colonization of the human urogenital tract by Escherichia coli. Adhesins of the Dr family have been found to be more frequently expressed in strains associated with symptomatic urinary tract infections.
