Type: | Family | Name: | Adhesin, Dr-family |
Description: | The Dr family of adhesins bind to the Dr blood group antigen component of decay-accelerating factor. These proteins contain both fimbriated and afimbriated adherence structures and mediate adherence of uropathogenic Escherichia colito the urinary tract []. They also confer the mannose-resistant hemagglutination phenotype, which can be inhibited by chloramphenicol. The N-terminal portion of the mature protein is thought to be responsible for chloramphenicol sensitivity []. | Short Name: | Adhesin_Dr |
