title: Bovine erythrocyte-agglutinin as a possible adhesin of Bordetella bronchiseptica responsible for binding to porcine nasal epithelium.
abstract: The bovine erythrocyte-agglutinin (BEA) of Bordetella bronchiseptica, located on the cell surface in non-fimbrial form, has been identified as a possible adhesion responsible for binding to porcine nasal epithelium in studies with BEA-negative (BEA-) mutants and in competitive studies with bovine erythrocytes.
