Type: | Domain | Name: | Aggregative adherence fimbria I, AAF/I |
Description: | This entry represents the aggregative adherence fimbria I (AAF/I), which is a plasmid-encoded fimbrial adhesin. AAF/I is involved in the adherence of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli(EAEC) to HEp-2 cells []. However, not all EAEC produce AAF/I, and other fimbrial adhesins have also been found, such as AAF/II []. | Short Name: | Aggregat_adhernc_fimbria_AAF/I |
