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...
