title: Genetic analysis of complex gene clusters in Escherichia coli: the genetic analysis of F72 fimbrial genes.
abstract: Cloning techniques make it possible to accommodate bacterial genes on vector DNA molecules. On that basis the investigation of bacterial structures and functions got new impetus. The potentials of molecular genetics for detailed analysis of bacterial structures are illustrated in this paper for the gene cluster involved in the expression of F72 fimbriae associated with a uropathogenic Escherichia coli O6:K2:H1:F7 strain.
