Abstract excerpt
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is capable of attaching intimately to epithelial cells and effacing their microvilli. A chromosomal locus, eaeA (originally eae), is required for the intimate attachment aspect of this effect. We report the mapping of a region of the EPEC chromosome that is located immediately downstream of the eaeA gene and that is also necessary for intimate attachment. An isogenic...
