摘要
Escherichia coli HB101 is frequently used as a host in the cloning of bacterial virulence genes because of its reported lack of virulence determinants such as fimbriae, adhesins and haemagglutinins. However, passage of HB101 in standing broth culture rapidly induced the production of fimbriae which mediated adhesion to HEp-2 cells and mannose-sensitive haemagglutination of human and guinea-pig erythrocytes. Fimbrial serology, morphology and pilin molecular mass of 18 kDa were consistent with those of type 1 fimbriae. © 1991.
