摘要: Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) interacts with intestinal epithelial cells, causing diarrhea and associated diseases. This pathogen binds to cells using sophisticated mechanisms that exploit existing signal transduction pathways host cytoskeletal components, ultimately resulting in the bacterium resting upon a pedestal on cell surfaces. Recent data indicates similar occur vivo. EPEC interactions illustrate several principles of pathogenesis are used by bacteria interact mammalian cells.
