Abstract

The invention relates to DNA sequences from fimbrial gene clusters of Escherichia coli strain DSM 6601. This strain has two chromosomal fimbrial gene clusters, namely type I (fim) and FIC (foc) gene clusters. DNA sequences of the main subunits fimA and focA are represented by SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 2.
