A conserved protein, BcmA, mediates motility, biofilm formation, and host colonisation in Adherent Invasive <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2019-04-11
Abstract excerpt
Adherent Invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) is a non-diarrhoeagenic intestinal E. coli pathotype associated with Crohn’s Disease. AIEC pathogenesis is characterised by biofilm formation, adhesion to and invasion of intestinal epithelial cells, and intracellular replication within epithelial cells and macrophages. Here, we identify and characterise a protein in the prototypical AIEC strain LF82 which is required fo...
