Abstract
The FimH subunit of type l-fimbriated Escherichia coli has been determined as a major cause of urinary tract infection. To produce a possible vaccine antigen against urinary tract infection, the fimH gene was genetically coupled to the ctxa2b gene, which was then cloned into pMAL -p2E expression vector. The chimaeric construction of pMALfimH/ctxa2b was transformed into Escherichia coli TB1 and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was analyzed. (omitted)
