METHOD AND GENE FOR PROVIDING OR ENHANCING NONSPECIFIC ADHESIVE PROPERTY AND/OR AUTOAGGLUTINATING PROPERTYFOR MICROORGANISMS ABSTRACT This invention provides a means for providing or enhancing nonspecificadhesive property and/or autoagglutinating property for microorganisms with weak or without nonspecific adhesive property or autoagglutinating property. This invention relates to a method for providing or enhancing nonspecific adhesive property and/or autoagglutinating property for a target microorganism, comprising introducing into the target microorganism a DNA encoding autotransporter adhesin from a microorganism having nonspecific adhesive property.(FIG. 1)
