Monoclonal antibodies specific for surface antigens of bacteria which act as adhesins between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and, in particular, K-99 pili, and methods for production thereof are described. These monoclonal antibodies may be used for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of diseases induced by adhesin-bearing pathogens in animals and humans, and for the diagnostic identification of adhesin-bearing bacteria.
