Abstract excerpt
Virulence gene expression in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is governed by a combination of environmental factors and virulence regulators. These factors control the expression of the bundle-forming pili (BFP), intimin, the type III secretion apparatus and the secreted proteins EspA, EspB, EspD and Tir. Expression of the bfp genes occurs for a short period in early exponential phase during growth in...
