Function
AIDA_ECOLX Potent bacterial adhesin that mediates bacterial attachment to a broad variety of human and other mammalian cells. AIDA possesses additional virulence properties, as it is capable of mediating bacterial autoaggregation via intercellular self-recognition and it is a highly efficient initiator of biofilm formation.[1]
