Characterization of the type 3 fimbrial adhesins of Klebsiella strains.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jun 1998

Sebghati T A, Korhonen T K, Hornick D B, Clegg S

Abstract excerpt

The Klebsiella pneumoniae fimbrial adhesin, MrkD, mediates adherence to the basolateral surfaces of renal and pulmonary epithelia and to the basement membranes of tissues. Although all isolates possessing the MrkD adhesin mediate the agglutination, in vitro, of erythrocytes treated with tannic acid, the mrkD gene is not conserved within species. The ability of a plasmid-borne mrkD gene product to mediate binding...
