Characterization of the Binding Specificity of K88ac and K88ad Fimbriae of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli by Constructing K88ac/K88ad Chimeric FaeG Major Subunits

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains expressing K88 (F4) fimbriae are the major cause of diarrhea in young pigs. Three antigenic variants of K88 fimbriae (K88ab, K88ac, and K88ad) have been identified among porcine ETEC strains. Each K88 fimbrial variant shows a unique pattern in binding...
