Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> degrades the host MUC2 mucin barrier to facilitate critical pathogen-enterocyte interactions in human small intestine

2021-10-23

Abstract excerpt

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a genetically diverse pathologic variant of E. coli defined by the production of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) toxins. ETEC are estimated to cause hundreds of millions of cases of diarrheal illness annually. However, it is not clear that all strains are equally equipped to cause disease and asymptomatic colonization with ETEC is common in low-middle income r...
