title: Two unusual pilin sequences from different isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
abstract: The pilin genes of two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from two different patients with cystic fibrosis were cloned and sequenced. The predicted protein sequences of these two pilins had several unusual features compared with other published P. aeruginosa pilin sequences.
