The Type IV Fimbrial Subunit Gene (fimA) of Dichelobacter nodosus Is Essential for Virulence, Protease Secretion, and Natural Competence

Dichelobacter nodosus is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. The major D. nodosus-encoded virulence factors that have been implicated in the disease are type IV fimbriae and extracellular proteases. To examine the role of the fimbriae in virulence, allelic exchange was used to inserti...
