Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most commonly isolated infectious agent causing pyometra in bitches. The adhesin FimH has been shown to facilitate bacterial attachment to canine endometrium. However, many E. coli strains isolated from the uteri of infected dogs carry several adhesin genes (fimH, papGIII and sfa). The objective of this study was to investigate the role of each adhesin gene product, acting alone or expressed in combination, in the bacterial binding to canine endometrium. [...]
