Adherence properties of an mrkD-negative mutant of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Infection and immunity - 1 May 1995

Hornick D B, Thommandru J, Smits W, Clegg S

Abstract excerpt

The role of the mrkD gene in attachment by a type 3 fimbriate Klebsiella pneumoniae strain was further characterized. A clinical isolate, K. pneumoniae IA565, was found to contain two copies of the gene encoding the fimbrial subunit, mrkA, and one copy of the gene encoding the adhesin subunit, mrkD. One copy of mrkA was located on the bacterial chromosome, and the other copy was associated with mrkD and located...
