dc.description.abstractA Vibrio cholerae O139 (strain Al-1841) isolated from a patient with a cholera-like disease in Bangladesh predominantly produced new curved, wavy fimbriae (Al-1841 fimbriae) and small numbers of previously reported V. cholerae non-O1 S7-like pili. The former was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the Al-1841 fimbrial subunit was less than 2.5 kDa, and it was immunologically different from that of V. cholerae non-O1 S7 pili. This novel fimbrial antigen was detected in all 182 Gram-negative strains from five genera tested but was absent from the Gram-positive bacteria tested. The purified Al-1841 fimbriae did not agglutinate human or rabbit erythrocytesen
