Abstract excerpt
We constructed hha derivatives from both a clinical uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolate (strain FVL4) and a wild E. coli strain causing bovine diarrhea (strain CCB21) and analyzed the effect of the hha allele on the expression of the different virulence factors exhibited by these strains. Expression of hemolysin and of the Vir antigen was altered in hha mutants. Whereas production of hemolysin by strain FVL4...
