The EcpD Tip Adhesin of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> Common Pilus Mediates Binding of Enteropathogenic <i>E. coli</i> to Extracellular Matrix Proteins

The EcpD Tip Adhesin of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> Common Pilus Mediates Binding of Enteropathogenic <i>E. coli</i> to Extracellular Matrix Proteins

The attachment of enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (EPEC) to intestinal epithelial cells is facilitated by several adhesins; however, the individual host-cell receptors for pili-mediated adherence have not been fully characterized. In this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that...
