Abstract excerpt
LF82, an adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) pathobiont, is associated with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. Although AIEC phenotypes differ from those of 'commensal' or pathogenic E. coli, work has failed to identify genetic features accounting for these differences. We have investigated a natural, but rare, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in LF82 present within the...
