ETT2 is a second cryptic type III secretion system in Escherichia coli which was first discovered through the analysis of genome sequences of enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7. Comparative analyses of Escherichia and Shigella genome sequences revealed that the ETT2 gene cluster is larger than was...
