Abstract

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were used to identify and characterise epitopes of type 1 (SEF21) fimbriae of Salmonella enteritidis. The distribution of the epitopes among salmonellas and other enterobacteria was investigated, as well as the influence of growth media and temperatures on their expression. At least four different epitope clusters were identified on SEF21 fimbriae of S. enteritidis. Two of these clusters were associated with fimbrial haemagglutinins that were either common to all salmonellae tested, or restricted only to S. enteritidis and S. dublin. The four epitope clusters were identified on type 1 fimbriae of most Salmonella serotypes, as well as non-haemagglutinating type 2 fimbriae of S. pullorum and S. gallinarum, and on many other enterobacterial species. The expression of the epitopes was affected by growth conditions.
