Abstract
- Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) with colonisation factor antigens I and II (CFA/I and CFA/II) and PCF8775 were examined in the ‘salting-out’ test to assess the hydrophobicity of the individual adhesion antigens. The fimbrial antigens CFA/I and the coli surface antigens CS1, 2, 4 and 5 were all strongly hydrophobic. The fibrillar fimbrial antigen CS3 was weakly hydrophobic; this antigen is apparently non-fimbrial.
