Escherichia coU K-12 strains producing S-fimbrial adhesins, FlC fimbriae, and mutagenized fimbriae were tested in a binding assay with a renal tubular cell line. S-fimbrial adhesins and FlC fimbriae mediated bindlog to tubular cells. The SfaA, SfaG, and SfaS subunits of S fimbriae contributed to attachment. Site-specific mutations in the sfaS gene reduced binding. The Inhibitionprofile of FlC fimbriae resembled that of S fimbriae.
