- 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/orDNA 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.…
