Role of NleH, a Type III Secreted Effector from Attaching and Effacing Pathogens, in Colonization of the Bovine, Ovine, and Murine Gut
26 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 colonizes human and animal gut via formation of attaching and effacing lesions. EHEC strains use a type III secretion system to translocate a battery of effector proteins into the mammalian host cell, which subvert diverse signal transduction pathways implicated in actin dynamics, phagocytosis, and innate immunity. The genomes of sequenced EHEC...
