Genetic Characterization of Escherichia coli Type 1 Pilus Adhesin Mutants and Identification of a Novel Binding Phenotype

Five Escherichia coli type 1 pilus mutants that had point mutations in fimH, the gene encoding the type 1 pilus adhesin FimH, were characterized. FimH is a minor component of type 1 pili that is required for the pili to bind and agglutinate guinea pig erythrocytes in a mannose-inhibitable manner. Po...
