"Carbohydrates are essential components of life that play crucial role in all organisms. They are very important agent in recognition and signalling ways. Lectin-carbohydrate interactions play a crucial role in many recognition events. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen responsible for numerous nosocomial infections in immunocopromised patients, produces a variety of carbohydrate-binding proteins that could be involved in host recognition and adhesion. One of them, PA-IIL, is a fucose binding lectin that is closely related to the virulence of the bacterium [1]. Searching in databases for proteins displaying sequence similarities to PA-IIL revealed new homologous proteins in other opportunistic pathogens like Chromobacterium violaceum. Human infection by Ch. violaceum is rare but when it occurs, it is associated with very high mortality rate [2]. In Ch. violaceum genome a hypothetical protein similar to PA-IIL and coded by the gene cv1741 was found. The gene was cloned and the recombinan"@en . . . . . . "Imberty, Anne" .
