5 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Among the intestinal pathogenic E. coli, enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) are a group of intracellular pathogens able to enter epithelial cells of colon, multiplicate within them and move between adjacent cells with a mechanism similar to Shigella, the ethiological agent of bacillary dysentery.
