Abstract excerpt
The locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is necessary for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli to cause characteristic attaching and effacing lesions in host cells. To determine whether sequences at the extreme right end of the LEE downstream of the espB gene are required for attaching and effacing,...
