Aeromonas hydrophila RTX adhesin has three ligand-binding domains that give the bacterium the potential to adhere to and aggregate a wide variety of cell types

ABSTRACT Bacteria often make initial contact with their hosts through the ligand-binding domains of large adhesin proteins. Recent analyses of repeats-in-toxin (RTX) adhesins in Gram-negative bacteria suggest that ligand-binding domains can be identified by the way they emerge from “split” domains w...
