Abstract excerpt
Enterobacter sakazakii is an emerging pathogen in neonates and infants. Interactions of E. sakazakii with intestinal epithelium could be vital in the pathogenesis of enteric infections and in its systemic dissemination. The present study investigated the interaction of E. sakazakii with human intestinal epithelial (INT407) cells and the role of bacterial outer membrane protein A (OmpA) and host cytoskeleton in...
