The Fimbrial Gene z3276 in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Contributes to Bacterial Pathogenicity

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a zoonotic pathogen of worldwide importance that causes foodborne infections in humans. It is not capable of expressing type I fimbrial because of base deletion in the fim operon. BLAST analysis shows that the open reading frame z3276, a specific...
