Erwinia carotovora Evf antagonizes the elimination of bacteria in the gut of Drosophila larvae
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
Erwinia Virulence Factor (Evf) has been identified in Erwinia carotovora carotovora 15 (Ecc15) as a virulence factor that promotes colonization of the Drosophila larval gut and provokes the triggering of a systemic immune response. Here we have analysed how Evf promotes persistence and colonization of bacteria inside the larval gut. Erwinia evf mutants do not persist in immune-deficient Drosophila, indicating...
