“…The ␥ 1 -fimbrial clade corresponds to FUP cluster 1 (367) and consists of ushers present in several bacterial species, all belonging to a single family within the Gammaproteobacteria (the Enterobacteriaceae). Representatives are present in Citrobacter freundii (FimD) (133), E. coli (AufC, ECs0594, ECs2110, FimD, FmlC, FocD, SfaF, SfmD, YcbS, and YdeT) (17,33,45,56,73,128,177,202,203,271,274,297,340,352), Proteus mirabilis (AtfC) (213,214), and S. enterica serotype Typhimurium (BcfC and FimD) (218,337). A number of usher proteins are closely related to the ␥ 1 -fimbrial clade but are not connected by a node with a good bootstrapping value (Fig.…”
