Inhibition of K99 ⁺ Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) binding to bovine enterocytes with a recombinant protein /

Most enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from neonatal cattle contain the colonization factor antigen, K99. The K99 pili are necessary for the bacteria to bind to the host lipoprotein receptor, N-glycolylneuraminic acid-GM3 (NeuGc-GM3), in the small intestine. The resulting ETEC infec...
