Pili of a Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain as a possible colonization factor.

ABSTRACT

Pili of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were purified from a Kanagawa phenomenon-positive strain (Ha7) that belongs to serogroup O2:K3 and is adhesive to rabbit intestine. The organisms treated with the Fab fraction of antipilus antibody failed to adhere to the intestine. Purified pili had the ability to adhere to the intestine, but the pretreatment of the intestine with purified pili did not allow adherence of the organisms to the intestine. These results suggest that pili of this V. parahaemolyticus strain play an important role in colonization.
