Long-read sequencing to interrogate strain-level variation among adherent-invasive <i>Escherichia coli</i> isolated from human intestinal tissue
2020-03-10
Abstract excerpt
Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a pathovar linked to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), especially Crohn’s disease, and colorectal cancer. AIEC are genetically diverse, and in the absence of a universal molecular signature, are defined by in vitro functional attributes. The relative ability of difference AIEC strains to colonize, persist, and induce inflammation in an IBD-susceptible host is unresol...
