Evolutionary Analysis Points to Divergent Physiological Roles of Type 1 Fimbriae in <italic toggle="yes">Salmonella</italic> and <named-content content-type="genus-species">Escherichia coli</named-content>
ABSTRACT Salmonella and Escherichia coli mannose-binding type 1 fimbriae exhibit highly similar receptor specificities, morphologies, and mechanisms of assembly but are nonorthologous in nature, i.e., not closely related evolutionarily. Their operons differ in chromosomal location, gene arrangement,...
