Collagen-like proteins in pathogenic E. coli strains.

Collagen-like proteins in pathogenic E. coli strains.

The genome sequences of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 strains show multiple open-reading frames with collagen-like sequences that are absent from the common laboratory strain K-12. These putative collagens are included in prophages embedded in O157:H7 genomes. These prophages carry numerous gen...
