[Both 987P and F41 fimbriae produced by the same enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain isolated from a piglet with diarrhea].
An enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain isolated from a piglet with diarrhea was examined for the presence of fimbriea 987P and F41 by a direct agglutination (with MAbs), an indirect immunofluorescence technique (MAbs as first antibodies), SDS-PAGE and Western blots (antisera IgG as probes). Results of these techniques revealed that both 987P and F41 fimbrial adhesins were produced by the same strain, not by separate ones.
