Host range and zoonotic potential linked to P-like fimbrial adhesin specificity in avian pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2025-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Fimbrial adhesins are surface-associated bacterial proteins that contribute to colonization, tissue tropism, and biofilm formation. Genomic analysis of the avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strain QT598 identified a plasmid-localized fimbrial operon, termed plf which encodes P-like (PL) fimbriae. Herein, we investigated the role of P-like (PL) fimbriae, encoded on the ColV plasmid of APEC strain QT598, in...
