Type 1 fimbrial shafts of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae influence sugar-binding specificities of their FimH adhesins.

The type 1 fimbriae of enterobacteria comprise FimA, which constitutes most of the fimbrial shaft, and a cassette of three minor ancillary subunits including FimH, the mannose-binding moiety.
