ABSTRACT Most urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), which depends on an extracellular organelle (type 1 pili) for adherence to bladder cells during infection. Type 1 pilus expression is partially regulated by inversion of a piece of DNA referred to as f...
