Complete Nucleotide Sequence and Analysis of the Locus of Enterocyte Effacement from Rabbit Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli RDEC-1
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenicity island termed the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is found in diverse attaching and effacing pathogens associated with diarrhea in humans and other animal species. To explore the relation of variation in LEE sequences to host specificity and genetic lineage, we determined the nucleotide sequence of the LEE region from a rabbit diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strain RDEC-1 (O15:H-) and...
