The effect of glutathione on type 1 fimbriation in Escherichia coli
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
A wide range of molecular studies are carried out on model organisms such as Escherichia coli. While most E. coli strains are commensal, some have evolved to produce toxins and other virulence factors and are pathogenic.
