Transient Shielding of Intimin and the Type III Secretion System of Enterohemorrhagic and Enteropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> by a Group 4 Capsule
24 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Enterohemorrhagic and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EHEC and EPEC, respectively) strains represent a major global health problem. Their virulence is mediated by the concerted activity of an array of virulence factors including toxins, a type III protein secretion system (TTSS), pili, and others.
