A1 - Hacker, Jörg T1 - Comparison of the genetic determinant coding for the S-fimbrial adhesin (sfa) of Escherichia coli to other chromosomally encoded fimbrial determinants N2 - DNA probes specific for different regions of the S-fimbrial adhesin (sja) determinant were constructed and hybridized with DNA sequences coding for P (F8 and F13), mannose-sensitive hemagglutinating type 1 (FlA), and FlC fimbriae. While the sfa and F1C DNA determinants exhibited homology along their entire lengths, the P-fimbrial and type 1-fimbrial determinants exhibited homology to regions of the sfa duster responsible for the control of transcription and, to a minor extent, to regions coding for proteins involved in biogenesis and/or adhesion of the fimbriae and for the N-terminal part of the fimbrillin subunit.

T1 - Molecular cloning of the F8 fimbrial antigen from Escherichia coli N2 - The genetic determinant coding for the Pspecific F8 fimbriae was cloned from · the chromosome of the Escherichia coli wild-type strain 2980 (018: K5: H5: FlC, F8). The F8 determinant was further subcloned into the Pstl site of pBR322 and a restriction map was established. In a Southern hybridization experiment identity between the chromosomally encoded F8 determinant of 2980 and its cloned Counterpart was demonstrated. The cloned F8 fimbriäe and those of the wild type strain consist of a protein subunit of nearly 20 kDa. F8 fimbriated strains were agglutinated by an F8 polyclonal antiserum, caused mannose-resistant hemagglutination and attached to human uroepi thellal cells. The cloned F8 determinant was weil expressed in a variety of host strains.
