A newly identified group of P-like (PL) fimbriae from extra-intestinal pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (ExPEC) encode distinct adhesin subunits and mediate adherence to host cells

2021-07-23

Abstract excerpt

Fimbrial adhesins play a critical role for bacterial adherence and biofilm formation. Sequencing of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strain QT598 identified a fimbrial gene cluster belonging to the π group that we named PL (P-like) fimbriae, since genetic organization and sequence are similar to Pap and related fimbriae. Screening of genomic databases indicated that genes encoding PL fimbriae located on I...
