Genetic and microbial analysis of invasiveness for <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains associated with inflammatory bowel disease
2024-09-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background & Aims</h4> The adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) pathotype is implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis. AIEC strains are currently defined by phenotypic measurement of their pathogenicity, including invasion of epithelial cells. This broad definition, combined with the genetic diversity of AIEC across IBD patients, has complicated the identification of virulence determi...
