| conservation of ebp-type pilus genes among enterococci and demonstration of their role in adherence of enterococcus faecalis to human platelets. | ebp are endocarditis and biofilm associated pili of enterococcus faecalis that are also important in experimental utis. our analyses, using available genomes, found that the ebp locus is unique to enterococci. in e. faecalis, the ebp locus is very highly conserved and only 1/473 e. faecalis isolates tested lacked ebpabc while only 1.2% had the bee pilus locus. no other pilus-encoding operon was identified in 55 available genomes indicating that the vast majority of e. faecalis (unlike enterococc ... | 2011 | 21502588 |
