Two different in vitro tests confirm the blocking activity of d-galactose lectins on the adhesion of Escherichia coli F4 to pig brush border receptors
The pathogenicity of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) expressing F4ac (K88) fimbrial adhesin and its adhesion to the pig jejunum surface is genetically controlled by the presence of a specific receptor glycoprotein on brush borders of the epithelium. We firstly screened the degree of inhibiti...
