Further investigation of the roles of fibronectin-binding proteins CadF and FlpA during Campylobacter jejuni interactions with intestinal epithelial cells
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. The ability of C. jejuni to invade human intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) is pivotal for pathogenicity. Two highly conserved fibronectin-binding proteins CadF & FlpA have been shown to play an important role in C. jejuni adhesion to IECs. CadF & FlpA are also associated with outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and may play a role in the b...
