A novel C57BL/6 mouse model for the study of severe <i>Citrobacter rodentium</i> infection
2026-03-15
Abstract excerpt
The study of human enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EPEC and EHEC) has been limited by the inability of these pathogens to effectively colonize murine models without prior antibiotic treatment. Because it mimics key features of human EPEC and EHEC infection, Citrobacter rodentium , a natural mouse pathogen that colonizes the lower intestine, has become the primary model for investigating...
