espC pathogenicity island of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli encodes an enterotoxin.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt

At least five proteins are secreted extracellularly by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), a leading cause of infant diarrhea in developing countries. However only one, EspC, is known to be secreted independently of the type III secretion apparatus encoded by genes located within the 35.6-kb locus of enterocyte effacement pathogenicity island. EspC is a member of the autotransporter family of proteins, and...
