Evasion of toll-like receptor recognition by Escherichia coli is mediated via population level regulation of flagellin production

Abstract excerpt

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections. Analysis of the innate immune response in immortalized urothelial cells suggests that the bacterial flagellar subunit, flagellin, is key in inducing host defenses. A panel of 48 clinical uro-associated E. coli isolates recovered from either cystitis, pyelonephritis asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) or UTI-associated bacteraemia infections...
