We investigated the role of ChiA and its associated polymorphisms in the interaction between Crohn’s disease (CD)-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) and intestinal mucosa. We observed a higher abundance of chiA among the metagenome of CD patients compared to healthy subjects. In dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis mice model, AIEC-LF82∆chiA colonization was reduced in ileal, colonic and fecal...
