title: The adhesins and fimbriae of Proteus mirabilis strains associated with high and low affinity for the urinary tract.
abstract: In strains of Proteus mirabilis of urinary origin, no correlation was found between proticine types, reflecting relative affinity for the urinary tract, and the production of haemagglutinins and presence of fimbriae, a measure of adhesiveness.
