Genetic Diversity of the Gene Cluster Encoding Longus, a Type IV Pilus of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains produce a type IV pilus named Longus. We identified a 16-gene cluster involved in the biosynthesis of Longus that has 57 to 95% identity at the protein level to CFA/III, another type IV pilus of ETEC. Alleles of the Longus structural subunit gene lngA...
