Abstract
Porcine Escherichia coli strains isolated from cases of postweaning di arrhea or edema disease were analysed far the presence of fedA, the ma jor subunit gene of F107 fimbriae. The E. coli isolates were known to contain colonisation factor '8813', or to express F107, 2134P or other fimbriae, different from F4, F5, F6, and F41. PCR with fedA-specific primers, restriction enzyme digestion of the PCR product, and nucleoti de sequence analysis demonstrated that 2134P pill, colonisation factor '8813' and fimbriae identified on Australian strains of the O141 sero type belong to one family of F107 fimbrial antigens.
