Flagellar (H) antigens are mostly encoded by genes at the fliC locus in E. coli. We have sequenced 11 H7 fliC genes from Escherichia coli strains that belong to seven O serotypes. These sequences, together with those of nine other H7 fliC genes (from strains of three different O serotypes) sequenced recently (S. D. Reid, R. K. Selander, and T. S. Whittam, J. Bacteriol. 181:153-160, 1999), include 10 different sequences. The differences between these 10 sequences range from 0.06 to 3.12%. By comp ...[more]
