The pst operon of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli enhances bacterial adherence to epithelial cells.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jul 2008

Ferreira Gerson Moura, Spira Beny

Abstract excerpt

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) adheres in vivo and in vitro to epithelial cells. Two main adhesins, the bundle-forming pilus and intimin, encoded by the bfp operon and eae, respectively, are responsible for the localized and the intimate adherence phenotypes. Deletion of the pst operon of EPEC abolishes the transport of inorganic phosphate through the phosphate-specific transport system and causes the...
