Abstract
Adhesins are crucial factors in the virulence of bacterial pathogens such as Escherichia coli. However, to date no resources have been dedicated to the detailed analysis of E. coli adhesins. Here, we provide adhesiomeR software that enables characterization of the complete adhesin repertoire, termed the adhesiome. AdhesiomeR incorporates the most comprehensive database of E. coli adhesins and facilitates an extensive analysis of adhesiome. We demonstrate that adhesiomeR achieves 98% accuracy when compared with experimental analyses. Based on analysis of 15,000 E. coli genomes, we define novel adhesiome profiles and clusters, providing a nomenclature for a unified comparison of E. coli adhesiomes.

| Additional Information: | Availability of data and materials: E. coli genomes used in the study, including APEC and human-isolated ETEC, are available from NCBI Assembly (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly) database using accession numbers listed in Additional File 7. E. coli genomes used to create pangenomes are available from ECOR [32]. Metagenomic dataset was obtained from Hildebrand et al. [35]. All code used for data analysis is available at https://github.com/ksidorczuk/adhesiomeR-paper. AdhesiomeR is available as a web server at https://adhesiomer.quadram.ac.uk/ and as an R package from GitHub https://github.com/ksidorczuk/adhesiomeR.
