E. Coli adhesin

Patent Pending Escherichia coli strains most known for causing diarrhea can be found in the intestinal tissue of pigs and humans where they express the K88 and CFA1.[14] to attach to the intestinal lining. Additionally, UPEC causes about 90% of urinary tract infections.[15] Of those E. coli which cause UTIs, 95% express type 1 fimbriae. FimH in E. coli overcomes the antibody based immune response by natural conversion from the high to the low affinity state.
