Gastric acid and escape to systemic circulation represent major bottlenecks to host infection by Citrobacter rodentium
2022-09-24
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The gastrointestinal (GI) environment plays a critical role in shaping enteric infections. Host environmental factors create bottlenecks, restrictive events that reduce the genetic diversity of invading bacterial populations. However, the identity and impact of bottleneck events on bacterial infection are largely unknown. We used Citrobacter rodentium infection of mice, a model of human pathogenic Escheri...
