Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a gram-negative bacillus and resident of the normal intestinal
microbiota. However, some E. coli strains can cause diseases in humans, other mammals …

Few microorganisms are as versatile as Escherichia coli. An important member of the
normal intestinal microflora of humans and other mammals, E. coli has also been widely …

Despite recent advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of attaching and effacing
(A/E) Escherichia coli infections, the mechanisms by which the host defends against these …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli are diarrheagenic
bacterial human pathogens that cause severe gastroenteritis. These enteric pathotypes …

Like for all microbes, the goal of every pathogen is to survive and replicate. However, to
overcome the formidable defenses of their hosts, pathogens are also endowed with traits …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that
adheres to intestinal epithelial cells, causing diarrhoea. It constitutes a significant risk to …

Invasion causes cancer malignancy. We review recent data about cellular and molecular
mechanisms of invasion, focusing on cross-talk between the invaders and the host. Cancer …

We have investigated 677 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains from
humans to determine their serotypes, virulence genes, and clinical signs in patients. Six …

Over the last few years, dramatic increases in our knowledge about diffusely adhering
Escherichia coli (DAEC) pathogenesis have taken place. The typical class of DAEC includes …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) remains an important cause of diarrheal disease
worldwide. Research into EPEC is intense and provides a good virulence model of other E …
