Escherichia coliO157:H7 Survives within Human Macrophages: Global Gene Expression Profile and Involvement of the Shiga Toxins
26 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important food-borne pathogen that specifically binds to the follicle-associated epithelium in the intestine, which rapidly brings this bacterial pathogen in contact with underlying human macrophages. Very little information is available about the interaction between E. coli O157:H7 and human macrophages. We evaluated the uptake and survival of strain EDL933 during infection of...
