Multivalent binding of K99 fimbriae to the N-glycolyl-GM3 ganglioside receptor.

RESUMO
The ganglioside N-glycolyl-GM3 binds laterally at numerous positions to K99 fimbriae, as shown by electron microscopic detection and erythrocyte-binding activity. The data demonstrate the multivalent nature of K99 fimbriae with respect to their receptor-binding sites.
