Serological Response of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli Type III Secreted Proteins in Sera from Vaccinated Rabbits, Naturally Infected Cattle, and Humans
18 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an important zoonotic pathogen, causing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The colonization of cattle and human hosts is mediated through the action of effectors secreted via a type III secretion system (T3SS). The structural genes for the T3SS and many of the secreted effectors are located on a pathogenicity island called the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE). We cloned and expressed...
