Sialic Acid and N-Acetylgalactosamine Specific Bacterial Lectins of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (ETEC)

  • Chapter
The Molecular Immunology of Complex Carbohydrates

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 228))

Abstract

Many pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria have the ability to produce proteins that mediate adhesion to surfaces. These “adhesions” are usually seen in the electron microscope as filaments, protruding from the cell surface. The filaments are called fimbriae (or pili) and in general they have the ability to bind to carbohydrates and cause hemagglutination. Their ability to mediate adhesion to cells has been correlated with the pathogenicity of bacteria.
