![]() ![]() Samples were tested for antibodies against recombinant proteins of possible paralogous adhesins, FaeG1 and FaeG2, from K88 O169 and the FaeG of typical K88 (F4). In the present study, we focused on K88-like CF (hereafter, K88 O169) that may allow the organisms to infect domestic livestock like original K88-harbouring strains that can cause diarrhoea in piglets. ![]() The plasmid included a unique set of genes encoding a novel CF resembling K88 (F4) of porcine ETEC, in addition to CS6, a well-known representative CF of human ETEC, and another novel CF similar to CS8 (CFA/III) of human ETEC. Previously, we determined the complete sequence of the unstable virulence plasmid, pEntYN10. ![]() Human ETEC serotype O169:H41 (O169) has been a representative of epidemic ETEC worldwide the organism shows massive adherence to HEp-2 cells similar to enteroaggregative E. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains that express various fimbrial or nonfimbrial colonisation factors (CFs) and enterotoxins are critical causes of diarrhoeal diseases.
