Abstract excerpt
The pathogenesis of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is characterized by the type III secretion system-dependent exploitation of target cells that results in attaching and effacing (A/E) lesions, actin rearrangements and pedestal formation. This pathology is mediated by effector proteins which are translocated by the type III secretion system into the host cell such as the translocated intimin receptor...
