Abstract
SUMMARY. In strains of Proteus mirabilis of urinary origin, no correlation was found between proticine types, reflecting relative affinity for the urinary tract, and the production of haemagglutinins and presence of fimbriae, a measure of adhesiveness.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
