• function: Part of the yfcOPQRSUV fimbrial operon. Could contribute to adhesion to various surfaces in specific environmental niches. Increases adhesion to eukaryotic T24 bladder epithelial cells in the absence of fim genes.
  disruption phenotype: Deletion of the operon under classical laboratory conditions does not result in any major effect on E.coli capacity to form biofilms compared with the wild-type strain.
• The YfcO fimbriae gene enhances adherence and colonization abilities of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli in vivo and in vitro.
  Li, Microbial pathogenesis 2016 (PubMed)
  • GeneRIF: These results suggest that yfcO contributes to avian pathogenic Escherichia coli virulence through bacterial adherence to host tissues.
