Identification and characterization of NleA, a non‐LEE‐encoded type III translocated virulence factor of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7
4 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 uses a specialized protein translocation apparatus, the type III secretion system (TTSS), to deliver bacterial effector proteins into host cells. These effectors interfere with host cytoskeletal pathways and signalling cascades to facilitate bacterial survival and replication and promote disease. The genes encoding the TTSS and all known type III secreted...
