Identification of an Intestinal Neutral Glycosphingolipid as a Phenotype-Specific Receptor for the K88ad Fimbrial Adhesin of Escherichia coli

In this study, we identified a receptor for the K88ad fimbrial adhesin of Escherichia coli in neutral glycosphingolipid preparations from intestinal epithelial cells of K88ad-adhesive pigs, which was absent in preparations from K88ad-nonadhesive pigs. Neither K88ab nor K88ac adhesin variants bound t...
