Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli strains that cause septicemia of poultry often possess F1 (type 1) fimbriae (encoded by pil [fim] homologous gene clusters) and/or P fimbriae (encoded by pap homologous gene clusters). These fimbriae are thought to be involved in infection and colonization. To study the dynamics of infection due to E. coli with different virulence determinant profiles and to examine the expression of these...
