Abstract excerpt
Delivery of effector molecules into LMme(v) macrophages by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, via its type three secretion system (T3SS), inhibits bacterial uptake by a phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI-3) kinase-dependent pathway. The T3SS system, encoded by the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island, delivers LEE- and non-LEE-encoded effector proteins into host cells. Previous studies discounted...
