Nonfimbrial Adhesin Mutants Reveal Divergent Escherichia coli O157:H7 Adherence Mechanisms on Human and Cattle Epithelial Cells

Figure 1

Gene selection process. The whole genome of SS17 was fully annotated through RAST and manual annotations [5]. Adherence genes were compared against a previously performed proteome and comparison of the genes that contained nsSNPs compared to a non-SS isolate EDL933. Any nonfimbrial adhesins matching two of these three criteria were considered.
