Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an extracellular pathogen that utilizes a type III secretion system (TTSS) to modulate diverse host cell processes including cytoskeletal dynamics, tight junction permeability and macrophage phagocytosis. Some EPEC strains exhibit selective tropism for the specialized follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) overlying lymphoid follicles in the gut, which is a major site of...
